Firefox 3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 upgrade tests

  • Start with a fresh install of Firefox 3.0.19 before each test
  • Check the following after each test:
    • Custom changes in /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/firefox.js are preserved, and new keys are merged in from /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js without displaying a conffile prompt
    • All preferences are in /etc/firefox-3.0
    • It is possible to install firefox-2 in parallel
    • There is no transitional cruft in /etc/firefox/profile
    • The symlinks in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.6/defaults point to /etc/firefox-3.0/....
    • The correct icon is displayed on the panel and in the menus
    • The files in /etc/firefox-3.0 that used to belong to firefox-3.0 should now be owned by firefox
