3.6b1 Test Plan

Firefox 3.6b1 (build3) Spot Checks Results

We had to re-spin 3.6b1 due to bug 487059 and subsequent work on bug 524995. From the exchange in the bug and conversations in IRC, we are only going to spot check these builds, following loosely a smoketest, testing around the Preferences dialog and the migration functionality as well as the add-ons manager. There are existing and added tests which cover the work here, so spot-checking should suffice. See comment #25.

Instructions:

1. Get your build3 candidates from here http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6b1-candidates/build3
2. Check TestRun 67 to test around prefereces, migration, and add-ons manager using the most common platforms.

Still, if you file a bug, please add "[3.6b1]" without the quotes on the Whiteboard field so we can query the bugs filed during the beta1 testing cycle.
