find a regression, win a crappy firefox t-shirt
Our community of 1.0.5 test build testers found a regression yesterday and we've fixed it and have a new round of builds to test. If you're a 1.0.x user and can spare some time to upgrade to this latest (and hopefully final) test build, we could definitely use your eyeballs.
And just to make it fun, if you find a regression that we have to fix for 1.0.5, I'll send you a crappy Firefox t-shirt ;-) This shirt is a limited edition (because the screen print was good but not up to our quality standards of "great") and if you want, I'll even autograph it ;-) The photo was taken with the crappy camera on my phone so even though the shirt is crappy, it's not quite as crappy as the crappy photo suggests.
You can get the scoop on where to get and how to test these 1.0.5 test builds over at the Mozilla Quality blog

Posted by: Miguel on July 7, 2005 12:10 PMWOOOT! An autographed t-shirt by Asa Dotzler, I better get those builds downloaded and start looking around!
Posted by: David Catterton on July 7, 2005 12:32 PMSo if we find a regression, we get a buggy t-shirt? That really is killing two birds with one stone... can't fault your efficiency.
Posted by: Ben Basson on July 7, 2005 12:45 PMWell, this isn't technically a "new" bug... but...

This is a very visible, and highly annoying problem if it's a true regression. It's been confirmed by someoneelse over on the Mozilla Quality Blog as well.
I never saw this behavior with 1.0.4.
Can the really bad support of MathML (since moz 1.3) be considered as a regression ?
Posted by: S.F. on July 7, 2005 12:45 PMSeriously Peter(6) gotta win a bulk load of tees for those regression hunting.
Posted by: oops on July 7, 2005 01:47 PMWith our respect, I prefer to get a non-autographed t-shirt buyed on mozillastore ... In how long the website come back ?
Posted by: Nuer on July 8, 2005 12:51 AMIs it only here or is bugzilla.mozilla.org nearly unavailable today?? All my searches from the frontpage lead me too "Zarro bugs found". Searches from the "Advanced Search" hang with "Please stand by ..." for minutes.

Posted by: Dave W on July 8, 2005 11:26 AMIn regard to the post about when the store will be back, we are working on it. The good news is we will have Thunderbird items and (hopefully) a new Firefox shirt when the store launches. Stay tuned.
Posted by: marcia on July 9, 2005 07:04 PMI have been wondering about when Firefox is going to have Laptop touchpoint support.... In my honest opinion, Me having to go back to use IE for this feature is a true regression !!!
Posted by: Warpdrv on July 10, 2005 06:00 AMWould a crappy autograph from Asa make the shirt more or less crappy? ;-)

//waiting for store to come back
///looking for something thunderbird related, and a firefox polo
I don't know if your still doing crappy shirts, but I found a issue. Usually a mouse wheel click will open a link in a new tab. It still works for hyperlinks, but no longer works with image links.
FireFox 1.0.5 Gecko 20050711
I wouldnt mind one. :D
