4.0 Beta 2 Test Plan

Top Addons Testing

We'll do basic spot checks using the candidate builds with some of the top addons installed. We are going to be looking for obvious problems between the candidate builds and the addon, so it will not be necessarily a thorough assessment of the extensions

List of Top Addons

We will work out of this list: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/?sort=downloads

Generally, if you try to install addons that are not compatible with the version of Firefox you are trying you will get an error: http://grab.by/5B7v This is bug 581578 If you want to install you must save the extension on your desktop first and then install it from there.

• firebug
• greasemonkey
• download statusbar
• foxtab
• firefox sync
• downthemall

• Notes: I saw an error in the console related to Greasemonkey. The addon compatibility reporter did not provide the option to provide feedback to this addon's creator. In general the other addons did not interfere with the functionality of the browser to a degree that they would prevent me from using it. Most are not compatible with Fx4b2. I had to use Add-on Compatibility Reporter.
