How do I file bugs?

First of all, let one of the moderators know so they can check if it is already a known problem. Then they can guide you to either provide more details, update an existing bug or file a new bug. If filing a new bug, please do a quick check to see if the bug already exists. This can easily be done by searching for the error message, window name, or some over identifying feature of the bug.

How do I send feedback?

Please use the testday@mozilla.org to send feedback about how the testday went, and roll up of issues found and bugs filed. We really appreciate your help today and your feedback is very valuable.

If you have issues with a particular testcase in Litmus, please take the time to add a comment to your test result indicating what is broken or unclear.

Total Test Results By Locale

Note: we have no way of verifying whether the Firefox builds these people were using were actually the localized versions or not. They may have simply chosen the locale they were testing from, or may have been using a separate browser instance to submit results. af-ZA is also the first locale in the drop-down list, so if there were a failure in the locale detection code, it might default to af-ZA.
