L10n UI, General Feature Testing
The following features in Firefox 4.0 beta 2 will be the user interface features needing the most testing by your team:
- Add-Ons Manager
- Description: Design and implement a way for addons to integrate into Firefox UI in a way that plays nice with themes, allows maximum customizability, and eases implementation for addon developers.
- To view the new Add-Ons Manager, type "about:addons" in the URL bar. Here you will see the new UI for the add-ons manager. There are several items to look at here:
- Translations and dialogues size for the side panel items
- Get Add-ons
- Languages
- Extensions
- Themes
- Plugins
- Translations and dialogues size for the side panel items
- Switch to Tab
- [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Tab_Matches_in_Awesomebar Description: When an awesomebar result matches the URL of an already open tab, it should indicate that and allow the user to switch to that tab instead of duplicating it.
- To test this
- Open up several tabs in your Firefox 4 beta
- Copy a URL for one of your open tabs
- Open a new tab and paste the URL
- Awesome Bar will show a "Switch to Tab" (yours will be translated) UI in the results
- Check for any dialogue size issues or other localization bugs
- The development team created a test plan for their UI that you can review. Note, this test plan tests functionality, not localization.
- Tabs on Top
- Description & Mockups - In Firefox 4, tabs are given top visual priority for more efficient and intuitive browsing.
- To view the "Tabs on Top" feature, go to the menu item View > Customize > "Tabs on Top"
- Ensure the menu items are properly translated, functional, and viewable
- Review the tabs UI and compare it to mockups above, noting any major differences that might occur in the localization
- Description & Mockups - In Firefox 4, tabs are given top visual priority for more efficient and intuitive browsing.
- Firefox button (re-uses many strings from Firefox Menu Bar)
- Description: In Firefox 4 for Windows Vista and Windows 7, all menu items are in a single button for easy access and reduced clutter.
- On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, click on the new Firefox Button to see the redesign of all menu items.
- Click through on all menu items to see any localization errors, noting especially any dialogue size problems
- A very spartan project description created by the dev team is here
