Following-on from the discussion last class, we will participate in a Community Test Day. Mozilla is releasing a new version of Firefox 1.5 (1.5.0.8) and needs help testing it.
Please do the following:
- Check out the Community Test Day web page.
- Join the #testday channel. Chat with the moderators if you find bugs, have questions, etc.
- Download and unpack/install Firefox 1.5.0.8 RC2 (Win32, Linux, Mac). You should run Firefox with a new profile and set up your environment so that you can run different versions of the browser at the same time:
> set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 > firefox -profileManager
- Create a Litmus Account
- Start testing things, focusing on the things that need testing.
When you're done, send feedback to the QA team by email: testday@mozilla.org.
