One of the major features of Firefox is indeed the add-on system and with the completely rewritten Add-ons Manager, a new way of handling add-ons has been introduced and established.<\/p>\n<p>Given its big impact for the Firefox 4 release we want to make sure that any feature related to add-ons is working as perfect as possible. Therefore we want to hold a testday this Friday, on March 4th, fully dedicated to add-ons and the Add-ons Manager. A couple of important tasks have been planned and will be worked on throughout the whole day. The list below will give you a quick heads-up. A detailed test plan for the day will follow in the next two days.<\/p>\n<p>Tasks for the add-ons testday:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Testing the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/compatibility\/report\/4.0\">top100 compatible add-ons<\/a> in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/firefox\/beta\/\">Firefox 4 beta 12<\/a> to ensure there is no breakage with any of those add-ons installed.<\/li>\n<li>Additionally we want to put focus on their memory consumption and check that no memory leaks exists in the add-on or Firefox itself.<\/li>\n<li>Supporting add-on authors and help them updating their add-ons for Firefox 4.<\/li>\n<li>Performing major updates from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 to ensure that users will be safe without loosing add-ons or any other data.<\/li>\n<li>Testing the functionality of the Add-ons Manager for handling all kinds of add-ons.<\/li>\n<li>Execution of Mozmill endurance tests to identify memory leaks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Together with your help we want to make this testday a success and ensure the quality of Firefox 4 for all of our over 400 million users world-wide. If you have time this Friday, on March 4th, please join us on IRC at <a href=\"http:\/\/wbe04.mibbit.com\/?server=irc.mozilla.org&#038;channel=%23testday\">#testday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n<p><b>When<\/b>: March 4, 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cross-posted from QMO Events Dear Firefox testers and add-on authors!
