Welcome to the Gran Paradiso Alpha 4 Test Day!!

In preparation for the Gran Paradiso Alpha4 in May, we thought it would be fun to flesh out some of the upgrade issues users might face when jumping from earlier versions of Firefox to Gran Paradiso (code name for Firefox 3).

Thank you for participating in this test day. The success of Firefox and Thunderbird is heavily dependent on community members like you. We appreciate your support!!

When you are done, please send feedback to testday@mozilla.org or post significant findings to the Mozilla QA blog (http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/qa/). We are very interested to hear about how the test day went, any overall thoughts about Bon Echo, and roll up of issues found and bugs filed.

The official time for the test day is Friday, April 27, 2007, from 7am - 5pm PDT, but anyone can jump on Litmus at any time on any day!

For more information about this release, please check out the [[1]]. You will find the current schedule, test plan, and specific areas we can use help testing.
