QA/Firefox3.5/TestPlan/RC2

Description of Release

Fx3.5rc1 is leveraging a large number of beta users to help us test in parallel to our in-house QA, through their daily browsing activities and feedback. While these updates are out and being exercised by the community, we will continue to work on our full functional tests (FFTs), and the usual battery of tests prior to an RC release.

Specific Plan for this RC2

As with beta99 and RC1, we will be running smoketests, a couple of l10n spot checks, and updates checks on the testing channels.

In addition we will make sure to verify the bugs that prompted this RC2.
