Testing the release candidate for Firefox 3.5
Seth Bindernagel
Over the past few weeks, many of our Mozilla community members have done
testing and landed fixes for Firefox as we close in on our release. We
are now in the last hours before we ship our release candidate that we
can comfortably call Firefox 3.5. If you have time this weekend, it is
a great opportunity to do some last minute testing for your localization.
**Where to download the latest nightly version of the Firefox 3.5
release candidate*
*
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-1.9.1-l10n/
Please "hammer" on these builds mercilessly to make sure that things
work well! If you notice things that worked in Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 and
do not work in this release, we would like to know about it right away.
**What to Test*
*
You can run a set of localization test cases by going to Litmus,
Mozilla's testing suite. This URL will take you to the "l10n run".
https://litmus.mozilla.org/run_tests.cgi?test_run_id=36
If you don't have a Litmus account, you should be able to create one
quickly. Please email us if you need any help.
**How to report feedback*
*
Please try filing a bug for your locale with Bugzilla. The basic set of
instructions are below. If you are not comfortable filing a bug, you
can report it to your locale leader who should be listed in the specific
locale on this main Teams page:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams
Things to remember when filing a bug in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
1. Always include the Build ID that you tested on. If you type
about: in the URL bar, this will give you the Build ID.
2. Always include clear Steps to Reproduce the bug
3. Always check to see if your bug has already been filed. This link
will help: http://tinyurl.com/2465be
4. Use the regression keyword if it indeed a regression from a
previous release. And, please tell us in the main comment of the
bug if it is a regression from a previous release.
5. If you happen to crash, please include the Breakpad ID in the bug.
You can get this by typing about:crashes in the URL bar.
If you don't wish to file a bug, report issues through
http://feedback.mozilla.org or through the
mozilla.feedback.firefox.prerelease newsgroup (also available on Google
Groups). However, we prefer bugs as feedback since those are easier to
track.
Finally, keep in mind that no comments or questions are off limits.
Please send along any remarks, questions, feedback you think is
appropriate at you test. It's all appreciated.
Thanks to all of you for helping test Firefox and making it the browser
of choice for millions and millions of people all over the world!
Best,
sethb

Hey Seth,
This is a tiny detail and doesn't matter _too_ much, but...
In the future it would be best if you didn't refer to nightly builds as
"release candidates" - we save that term for the official, branded
builds that are produced once we're code complete. It would be best to
simply refer to them as "the latest Firefox 3.5 nightly builds".
Not a big deal, just want to make sure we're all using the same terminology!
On a side note, when we do have the real candidate builds they'll show
up here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.5rc1-candidates/build1/.
Cheers.
- Ben
