General Info & Status


QA Tasks

Firefox 1.5.0.7 Test Plan <-- MoCo QA tasks and results are here.

In order to get more coverage on fixes going in for Firefox 1.5.0.7, we need the community to help test the latest RC candidates or nightly "-firefox1.5.0.7" branch builds while looking at the current list of fixed1.8.0.7 bugs (excluding XForms bugs). Here are a few ways to help:

  • Universal Binary testing on MacOS X
    • As we transition to shipping UB builds to Mac users, we need the community to help test these latest builds to make sure Firefox AND Thunderbird works across a number of configurations on both PPC and IntelMac machines.
  • BFTs & Regression Testing: Running through a set of BFTs on Litmus is the best way to test basic functionality and explore various areas for regressions.
  • Extensions & Themes Testing: Install and use some of your favorite extensions and themes. Try a few new ones from addons.mozilla.org to make sure everything works as expected.

Community testing and feedback will be managed through the QA Blog and the Newsgroup, so keep an eye out for posts and discussions there!

l10n Tasks

As builds become available for various locales, we need localizers to run them through their usual smoketests/BFTs. Once tested and verified, they can sign off on the build for their locale in the table below.

In order for this to work, we need localizers signed up for this work ASAP. Given the schedule and the dates we currently have for various stages of the release cycle, I hope most of them can make time to do this for 1.5.0.5.
