Windows XP (juanb)
- en-US - PASS
- de - PASS
- I can see the same results as abillings, but it looks like the bugs in question are either "won't fix" or a duplicate of an existing bug that has been there from the Fx1.5 times and probably won't be fixed.

Linux Ubuntu 8.10 (juanb)
- en-US - PASS
- zh-TW - PASS
- Notes: Results are consistent with XP. And, again, it looks like the list of incompatible extensions that is presented in the MU offer is "incomplete." Once the MU is applied the list of incompatible extensions is different (larger). From the comments in bug 483843 it looks like this will go as is.

Mac OS 10.4.11 (juanb)
- en-US - PASS
- Notes: Used an older PPC machine. This was a basic check, and I didn't check for the rich user profile settings.

OS X 10.3.x (juanb) - PASS
- 20016 ->20020 -> No Update Found, en-US, using 10.3.9 on an older PPC machine.
- Notes: 3.0.x is not supported in 10.3.x, so when I attempted the major update from 2.0.0.20, no update was found, so there was way to go to have 3.0.7 installed to then try a major update to 3.1b3.

Linux - GTK older than 2.10.x (abillings)- PASS
- Tested with Ubuntu 6.06.
- Distros with GTK older than 2.10.x should not get update (like older Ubuntu)
  - Firefox 3.x requires GTK 2.10.x and newer so it cannot be installed so there is no update to 3.1 b3. This was verified by me.
