Major Update Testing
We will track test results for major updates from Firefox 3.0.15 and 3.5.5 to 3.6b4 here. So far a test run and spreadsheet for the 3.0.15->3.6b4 case has been added, but we will need one for 3.5.5->3.6b4 as well. The latter ones have yet to be created.
Instructions
- Download Firefox 3.0.15 or 3.5.5
- Install it and change the update channel to majortest (if you are updating from 3.5.5) or minortest (if you are updating from 3.0.15)
- Restart the browser and select "Check for Updates" from the Help menu
- Run the major update 3.0.15 to 3.6b4 test run
- Make sure all user data is preserved or make a note of what is not.
- Use major-updated Firefox 3.6b4 and verify that it works as expected.
