Fixed Bugs
Review the pushlog and place each Desktop Firefox bug in one of the following categories:
- A) Tested by the QA Team --> add the verifyme keyword to the bug and set the status-firefox31 flag to fixed
- B) Tested by a new volunteer --> add the [good first verify] whiteboard tag
- C) Tested by the bug reporter --> set the needinfo flag to ask the reporter to confirm the bug is fixed
- D) Not tested at all --> add the [qa-] whiteboard tag
Tips:
- If you are unsure, set the needinfo flag to the Assignee or QA Contact and ask if the bug needs testing
- Be sure to set the status-firefox31:fixed flag
- If the bug includes tests from a developer you can set in-testsuite+
- Ignore any bugs for non-Desktop platforms, with in-testsuite coverage, or which address test failures

Bug Fix Verifications
- Review the bugs below to identify a bug you want to test
- Make sure you understand the bug before you begin testing it
- Test on a previously known broken build to make sure you can reproduce the bug
- Test on the latest build from the branches which are fixed to confirm the bug no longer reproduces
- Mark the bug VERIFIED FIXED if the bug appears to be fixed and set the appropriate status-firefox flag to verified
- Reopen the bug if it still reproduces

Fixes landed on RC build (still need verification)
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812695 - [Read comment #414] [D2D] Text Rendering Issues on Windows 7 with Platform Update KB2670838 (MSIE 10 Prerequisite) or on Windows 8.1 ==> this is a rather old rendering issue affecting some Radeon cards. Going through the bug I could not find any Radeon model that we have available. There is only one machine with an AMD Radeon HD 3000, which may have been affected, but we haven't tried it yet.
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1034327 - Memory leak with TURN relay ==> according to Nils: "This was caught in the WebRTC QA lab and can be verified with that as well. Additionally manual verification has been done and can be done as needed."
Release Candidate 2
Read the Beta Coordination Guide for more info
- Build1 (20140716183446)
- Automated Testing
- Manual Testing
- Conduct testing of the New Tab page to ensure nothing regressed due to bug 1038997 - FAIL (test results)
Noteable Issues
- bug 1015341, bug 1035534, bug 1035537 and bug 1035529 all related to Movie Toolbar (bandoo) and combine to be our #7 topcrash
- Bandoo has been contacted and we'll be tracking this in Release (They are working on a fix)
- bug 984033 is an OOM that is now #4, correlated with Crossrider framework add-ons
- 0 crashes in Nightly since the patch landed in mozilla-central on July 17
- too late for Release but it should be uplifted to 32 and might be good to consider as a ridealong if we do a .point release
- bug 1012924 (experiments shutddown crash) is #2/#3 (depending on specific report) after OOM|small, competing with processMarkStackTop
- this should be gone when we release (just like Fx30) but raises concerns about running experiments through the entire Beta cycle (perhaps disable it in the last Beta until stability settles down)
- New tab page issues (etherpad) -- do not block as they are also reproducible in Fx 30 (ie. not regressions from backing out New Tab Page Tiles)
