This Bug Day, we'll be focusing on unconfirmed bugs reported using Firefox 3.5. It's important to find any severe bugs that were missed during the release cycle. Any blocker, critical, or major bugs that are found could get fixed in the upcoming Firefox 3.5.1 or another maintenance release.

How do I get ready?

Meet us on #bugday for help and guidance. You can use this URL for a good search query to get started with.

During this Bug Day, we will focus on narrowing down unconfirmed bugs to find any important ones that have been reported, looking especially for regressions in Firefox 3.5 that weren't in Firefox 3.0. Once we find them, we'll hand them off to developers to get them into a "point" update (e.g., Firefox 3.5.1).
