• Tests to run for each Beta are picked to cover areas most affected by fixes since previous Beta (if there are no such areas, tests are picked randomly from the Full Beta Regression set).
• Tests will be available in Mozilla Moztrap.
• In any case of failure in any regression tests, bugs need to be raised ASAP before proceeding to the exploratory testing.

• Breakpad End-to-End Functionality
• Desktop Firefox Plugin Compatibility
• Desktop Firefox Web Compatibility
• Mac OSX Signing Verification
• Verify update applies with root owned files

Exploratory Testing
