Please record your detailed results in the section below.
Note - please also make a smoketest pass against Windows 7 Beta, Mac OSX on PPC, and Windows Vista
BFT / FFT Testing
BFTs are a more comprehensive set of litmus tests that cover the build testing after smoketests result. Tests are available on litmus under the Firefox 3.1 test suite.
