Ongoing Projects

    The initial release of the Website Testing project occurred during the development cycle of Firefox 3 but was only run by a couple of employees and contributors. As a result we did not receive much feedback and that hasn't helped us to to get a better view of how Firefox behaves on different banking, financial, or shopping sites. That issue had to be addressed.

    With the new web based version we want to give website testing a new look and broaden the interest in having people from all around the world help in this effort. Everyone who is interested is welcome to check if his/her major websites, primarily those which need accounts to be functional, are working as expected. It is free to join and you can help to make Firefox better than it already is!

    Our goal is to have a test case management site that is useful for the current set of teams that use it, which are the QA Teams from various Mozilla projects and Localization teams on various Mozilla proejcts.

    Mozilla is phasing out Talkback and have started to use Crash Reporter in Firefox 3. There is plenty of great crash data coming in that we need to take a look at to identify topcrashers and other stability issues. Join this project if you want to help reproduce common crashes and do some crash debugging to improve Firefox stability.

    If you need to find whether a bug has been filed already, or you are looking for a specific bug in Bugzilla here are three links you can use:
    Basic Search: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
    Specific Bug Search: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?format=specific
    Advanced Search Form: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?format=advanced
     
    In the basic search the words entered will match any entries in the Summary, Keywords, Product, Component, Status Whiteboard fields. If you are new to Bugzilla, the most relevant field to search will probably be the Summary, which, ideally, captures the essence of the bug report.

    The Mozilla QA community is truly global and we want to make sure we do everything we can to help others contribute to the Mozilla project. Although localization may not be feasible for every part of the site, we should discuss which pages are most valuable to non-English speakers and work together to get some content translated.

    Fennec is the mobile version of Firefox with a new UI and built on top of Xulrunner. We test it in many of the same ways, but there are a lot of new things to look out for across a variety of platforms such as Windows Mobile Standard/Professional, Linux Maemo and all standard Desktop OS's (Win XP/Vista/7, OSX and Linux) .
