Issues
Please report any issues you encountered below, including steps to reproduce and the AUS URL from the browser console:
- bug 964297 - ja-JP build is partially localized (About Firefox)
- bug 945143 - The text from the installer and the browser is displayed as glyphs in ja-jp build under Win XP
- The update channel is not shown in the About dialog for the RC builds - this is by design (see bug 885347), but it breaks the user experience when the RC is on the beta channel given beta build do usually show the update channel. Updates work fine, this is just a UI issue.
- On Windows,the "updates" folder is located under Local -> Mozilla -> updates, not profile folder as specified in testcases.
- update.stats is update.status in the updates folder - testcase misspelling?
- The contents of /updates/0/ folder are removed after a successful update (all OSs). AUS URLs from the console (all three were displayed for the same update):
