Calling all Windows 7 users!

Last week, Microsoft released Windows 7, the latest version of the Windows operating system. The majority of our visitors to Firefox Support are Windows users today, and “Windows 7” is one of our most popular search terms because users want to know if Firefox works on Windows 7.mozhunt panda

We need to make sure all the information in the knowledge base provides them with correct information, and is user-friendly to Windows 7 users. This will be especially important when the EU browser ballot is deployed in Europe, because we expect to see a large increase in Firefox users running Windows 7. Many of those users will probably be computer novices that have never heard of the term web browser before.

If you are a Windows 7 user, we could really use your help going through the knowledge base articles and testing the instructions on each article. If you see anything that needs updating, we can show you how to edit an article. Even for instructions that are correct, we would still love to get help with updating screenshots and screencasts so they are for Windows 7 instead of XP/Vista.

To get started, we have instructions on how to edit articles, and a list of articles to go through. If you have any questions, just ask in the Contributors forum. Thanks for any help you can provide.
