Hey Everyone!

It's time to test the Firefox Nightly Trunk Build in preparation of the Firefox 3 RC1!

Join us Friday, April 18th, 2008 in #testday on IRC from 7am - 5pm PDT. Here is how you can help us:

We are on the road to Firefox 3 RC1, so there is plenty to test! If you want to test your your favorite Firefox Feature like the awesomebar, the new Places feature, the new Download Manager, great! But you can also run some more tests in Litmus (http://litmus.mozilla.org) and try out the Nightly Build and the other great new Firefox improvements !

How to prepare for Test Day:

* Download a Firefox Nightly Build
* Save your profile data! You should either back up your profile or use the profile manager to create a new profile for testing.
* Get the new Mozilla QA Companion! It's the easiest way to run test cases, search for bugs, and get connected on IRC... so it's the perfect tool for Test Days!

Getting started on Test Day:

First join us in #testday on irc.mozilla.org so you can chat with the Mozilla QA team and community. There are always people in the channel to meet, work with, and get help from.

Then choose one or more of the following things to do:

* Run various test cases on Litmus! Ask for help in the #testday channel if you're not familiar with Litmus. If a testcase is terribly unclear, mark it as such. When you have questions about using Litmus, please ask the moderators in the testday channel or see the Litmus tutorial.
* When you have time and interest in writing testcases, please ping Marcia and/or Tomcat in the #testday channel. We have also a short documentation how to write testcases for litmus.

Other Stuff

* If you want to help us test various pre-releases early and often (alphas, betas, release candidates), join our betatesters mailing list!
* If you are interesting in specific Testing on Mac (10.4 and also Leopard) and Vista please see http://quality.mozilla.org/node/287 and if you want to be more involved in Mozilla in general, please see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/university/

Hope to see you on Friday 04/18 for our Firefox Nightly Trunk Test Day!

Thanks,
