We’ve just released Thunderbird 22b and lightning a corresponding
version of lightning. Our next major release is due in a few weeks with
version 24. In order to catch anything that might have gone wrong since
the release of version 17.This week we need our users to spend a few
hours testing the
applications, so that anything that might have gone wrong in
improvements and fixes since the last big release of version 17 can be
caught. There are two ways to test, a formal way and a less formal way.
Let me start with the formal way - as it’s the best way for us to know
the level of quality we’ve achieved with the products.
download thunderbird at
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all-beta.html and Lightning at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lightning/#beta-channel
go to https://moztrap.mozilla.org/runtests/environment/293/ and
start following the tests - try to also do test that have not been done yet
file bugs for anything not working at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org
, and in the advance field make the bug blocking bug 870347
The informal way of testing is just to switch your daily usage of
Thunderbird to the beta version above and make sure that : you send
crash reports and you file bugs in bugzilla as described above.
During the testing week we will be available for chat on #tb-qa (on
irc.mozilla.org) to help you the best we can - please be patient as we might
be there but not answer so quickly.
Ludovic for the quality team.

Also see the thread "A problem with Tb 21.0 beta; message counts, maybe
also lost messages" under mozilla.support.thunderbird for more on that
problem.

Sorry for top-posting, but is there a debug build of the beta for Linux?
Lately, I noticed a rather uncomfortable NS_ASSERTION which is triggered
very often in the current COMM-CENTRAL's M-C portion (in my own DEBUG BUILD)
and just wonder if that NS_ASSERTION is triggered in the DEBUG BUILD of
released Beta TB.
The problem in question is as follows:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=842114
I am using Thunderbird for work, and so I want to make sure that something
that could be fixed will have been fixed by the release date of new version.
