Mozmill 1.5.12 dropped support for Firefox 3.6

By Admin

Some days ago we noticed that with the Mozmill 1.5.12 release we accidentally dropped the support for Firefox 3.6 or the Gecko 1.9.2 platform. It has been introduced with the fix for the global per compartment issue on bug 751424, especially with the addition of the ‘outer-window-destroyed’ observer notification listener. Given the EOL of Firefox 3.6 and the Gecko 3.6 platform we do not intent to push another hotfix release for Mozmill 1.5 at this time. If you have to test applications which are based on Gecko 1.9.2 you shouldContinue readingMozmill 1.5.12 dropped support for Firefox 3.6

Changes in the management of Mozmill tests

By Admin

As you have probably already read we had some changes to our team. With the transition over into the Automation and Tools Engineering team we can now focus even more on test harnesses, the APIs, and the test creation process while educating others how to write automated tests. Given that new responsibility I want to announce a change in how we will manage Mozmill tests from now on. All that is done with the idea of having a faster pace in getting tests automated and fixed. We have to doContinue readingChanges in the management of Mozmill tests

With the change in the Firefox release process to a rapid train model a ton ofContinue readingAutomation Development Team and Q2 Goals

Mozmill 1.5.12 released

By Admin

Something we have learned over the weekend was: Never say never. After we have released the 1.5.11 release of Mozmill on April 19th, we were sure to not have to ship any other release off this branch. We want to concentrate our work on Mozmill 2.0 and get it out as soon as possible. But things can change, and sometimes faster as expected. So by last Friday (it was already late in the evening) Mike Conley contacted me on IRC and mentioned that Mozmill will be broken starting with tomorrowsContinue readingMozmill 1.5.12 released

Nightly Tester Tools 3.3 released

By Admin

Having a good experience when testing Firefox Nightly builds should be self-evident. Therefor the QA Automation Services team is maintaining the Nightly Tester Tools extension, which brings a couple of useful features to ease the testing efforts. While the extension works fine most of the time, we unfortunately fail at times when a version bump for Firefox happens. Exactly this action repeats in a 6 week interval and is the release cycle of Firefox. So what happens here? The extension registers binary components for the crashme feature in the manifestContinue readingNightly Tester Tools 3.3 released
