Activities

Feedback

• Use the Australis build as you would normally use Firefox (email, videos, social networking, add-ons, customization, etc)
• Report to Etherpad:
  • anything you like about Australis
  • anything you don't like about Australis
  • general feedback about Australis

Testing

• Run the Australis testruns in Moztrap:
  • Australis Basic Functionality Test Run
  • Australis Smoke Test Run
• Install as many top add-ons as you can and report any found issues. Remember, the add-on bar was intentionally removed in bug 749804, so we're looking for possible issues caused by that.

Before reporting a bug, try running another version of Firefox (ie. Aurora, Beta) with a new profile to confirm it's an Australis bug

• Report...
  • rendering issues within the Firefox UI
  • crashes, hangs, or slow animations
  • issues with specific websites
  • issues with specific add-ons
  • issues with specific plugins (ex. Java, Flash, etc)
• If you file a new bug report:
  • Add [testday-20131206] to the whiteboard field on the new bug report
  • Add bug 870032 to the blocking field of the new bug report
