Firefox/Thunderbird 1.5.0.8 candidate builds ready for testing!
With Firefox 2.0 out the door, it's time to make sure all of our 1.5.0.x users are updated with the latest and greatest in stability and security fixes! We have candidate builds for 1.5.0.8 and would appreciate any help in testing them.
Get the latest RC builds for Firefox and/or Thunderbird!
Nothing specific to test this time around, but browse the web and visit your usual sites and report back any problems you might be seeing. If you are curious about what was fixed, check out the Fixed Bugs list.
Feel free to help us verify those fixes and test around them if you feel like doing a bit of exploratory testing. :-)
Thanks!

Help design the new Mozilla QMO (quality.mozilla.org)!
The Mozilla QA team and community need a new home on the web (we still have http://www.mozilla.org/quality, but it's a bit outdated and wikis just don't look pretty)...so we've started planning for QMO (http://quality.mozilla.org).
Right now the site is a basic WordPress blog setup... but we hope to change that with the help of our community! We are looking for talented web designers and artists to help us design a WordPress theme and/or webpage templates that will transform QMO into a well designed, user friendly, and exciting website to visit. We hope QMO will give our users a central place to come to learn more about QA, work better together, and find new ways to get involved in the Mozilla community.
I'm no artist, and I'm fairly new to WordPress, so I have failed miserably in trying to put a theme together myself. I did find one "Firefox" theme, but it was based on Firefox 1.0 art and just didn't feel quite right for QMO. Please help us by coming up with fresh new designs and send your themes/templates to qmo@mozilla.org with "QMO Theme" as the subject.
More info about our plans for QMO can be found at the QMO Design Wiki page. It is the best place to keep notes and track progress as we work together to make QMO a reality! Please feel free to add your ideas there and comments there.
If we decide to use your theme for QMO, you will be our first QMO Hall of Fame member and will receive a special gift from the Mozilla QA team. :-) Thanks for reading and start sending us some cool ideas. We look forward to seeing all of your great designs!
- Jay
