2. Firefox Nightly is extremely important to Mozilla’s mission.
We are delivering an exceptional mobile Web experience for users, with the performance, perso
security they expect. We are also providing developers a platform to keep the Web open by est
Gecko as a top-tier Web platform on Desktop and Mobile.
And we do all of this work in the shared Mozilla source repositories so all platforms,
desktop and mobile, benefit each other.

3. Nightly Desktop/Mobile Testing
 We're looking for a diverse group of Mozillians (not just engineers) to join the program.
 We'll have some loaner phones for those participants who don't already have an Android
smartphone .
 As a Mobile Test Drivers Program participant, you'll be expected to
 test daily (or nearly daily, we understand there's other Mozilla work to be done) - make
orders off of Amazon, surf Facebook, buy movie tickets, check your bank balances, etc.
 file bugs as soon as you run into them
 participate on the mailing list - does today's build feel faster than last week's? would you
make today's release your default browser?
 Have a good time! this is cutting edge Mozilla software, and it's amazing for us all to have the
opportunity to help out.

 Respond to Feedback Requests from
mobiletestdrivers@mozilla.org
 In announcements, we'll sometimes ask for specific
feedback. Please respond and help us out!

7. How To File a bug
• Create a Bugzilla Account
 If you don't have a Bugzilla account, go to the
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/createaccount.cgi and Signup.
 Use The same email you signed up for the Test Drivers Program with, if
possible.
• Did Firefox Crash?
 Type about:crashes in your address bar and copy the Crash Id.
 Put this in a safe place and add it to the bug you file below

8.  If this is your first time in Testing , you probably don't have the log capturing app installed already,
please install it as per the instructions below and then try to reproduce your issue.
 Install the free app 'aLogCat' on your device
 Open aLogCat, pause the logs, go to the app's menu and "Clear" the log, then restart the log gathering
 Close aLogCat and go to Aurora, do your tests or reproduce the steps that caused the issues you're
seeing.
 Once you've reproduced the issue(s), close Aurora and return to aLogCat where the in-app menu gives
you the option to "Share" the logs gathered. Share to yourself via email or other method that gives you
a way to grab the log and create a text file that you will be able to attach to a bug
If possible, get a Log

9. If possible,take screenshots
 If you are able to take screenshots of the issues, or take
photos of the screen with another device, those images
can also be useful to the developers and can be attached
to a bug along with log files.
 On Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich): hold volume down
and power buttons at the same time

10. File the Bug Report at
bugzilla.mozilla.org
Here are tips on filing the actual bug report:
 take the time to write:
 An accurate summary of your issue. “Nightly crashes
when trying to load an image on http://facebook.com” is
way more useful than “Facebook doesn't work”
 A description that explains what you see, what you
expected to see, and any other pertinent information
 Steps to reproduce. If you can take a reproducible
sequence of actions to cause a bug to manifest, we will be
really grateful, and the bug is much more likely to be
fixed than one we have to guess at

11.  A description of your device and the version of Fennec you're using.
Something like “Samsung Galaxy S2, Android 2.3.4, Nightly build from
2012-05-04” is enough. You can find out your Android version in the
Settings application.
 You can ignore everything but the "Summary" (bug title) and
"Description".
 "Steps to reproduce" are a rough outline of how you found the problem.
The more info, the better. If you don't know how you got into a situation,
try to reproduce the issue. If you can't, please still file a bug!

12. Watch for "bug mail",
and reply if necessary
 You'll sometimes get emails with a subject similar to "[Bug
xxxxx] When moving the page around, the page continues to
glide":
 Please read these emails and look for any questions directed at
you
 If a reply is necessary, click the link at the top of the email and
then input a reply in the text box at the bottom of the page.
