[[!toc levels=2]] **Ticket**: [[!tails_ticket 6370 desc="#6370"]] Current status ============== The `feature/ff24` branch builds, boots and basically works fine. Guidelines for testers ====================== 1. **What to test?** — Test an ISO built from the `feature/ff24` branch. The most recent [nightly built](http://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_feature-ff24/) one should do. See the *Needs to be checked* section below, and test whatever should work fine in the Tails web browser. 1. **Information we need** — Always report the exact *commit* the ISO you are testing was built from (if it is a nightly built one, report its filename; if you built it yourself, you can get this information in *About Tails*). 1. **Reporting problems** — If you discover something suboptimal, first please check *Known issues* below and the sub-tasks of [[!tails_ticket 6370]]. Then, please check if it's a regression compared to the current stable Tails, and then: * If it is a regression, file a sub-task of [[!tails_ticket 6370]]. * If it is not a regression, report a complete bug with WhisperBack. Note that the main goal of this testing session is *to discover regressions* in `feature/ff24`, and gain confidence in it; basically, everything else will be treated as low-priority. Let's keep focus, please :) 1. **Reporting success** — When something works fine, please add it to the *Known working* section below. If you don't have Git commit bit, and have no personal Tails Git repo, report success to the email thread on the tails-dev mailing-list, or to intrigeri on IRC. 1. **If in doubt** — Ask intrigeri on IRC (`#tails-dev`). Needs to be checked =================== *Empty for now.* Known issues ============ Fingerprinting -------------- Comparing to TBB 3.0b1: * ip-check.info says TBB 3.0b1 has JavaScript version 1.8, while the Tor browser 24.1 has version 1.5 - It says 1.8 too for Tails 0.21 and TBB 2.3.25-14-dev, so that looks like a regression. - It says 1.5 too for iceweasel 24.1.0esr-1 and for Firefox 24.1, both running on Debian sid. - No downgraded package in that ISO vs. 0.21. * ip-check.info returns a line "Screen" with Tails 0.21, TBB 2.4.17~rc1, and TBB 3.0b1 running from inside Tails 0.22 but not with Tor browser 24.1: `Screen: 1000 x 567 pixels (inner size), Zoom: 100%`. * ip-check.info returns a slightly different "Browser Window" size, even if run in the same context (freshly started browser in a virtual machine with the same screen size). That's [[!tails_ticket 6377]] and [[!tor_bug 10095]], not much we can do about it yet. - `Browser window: 1000 x 600` with Tor browser 24.1 - `Browser window: 1000 x 567` with Tails 0.21 - `Browser window: 1000 x 591` with TBB 3.0b1 - `Browser window: 1000 x 564` with TBB 2.4.17~rc1 Known working ============= Basic fingerprinting -------------------- A build from `feature/ff24` is seen by ip-check.info just the same way is Tails 0.20.1's browser. Comparing to TBB 3.0b1: * panopticlick: same results, modulo screen size Misc ---- - eepsites via I2P work - Tor hidden services work Persistent bookmarks feature ---------------------------- * bootstrapped on this branch * created with an older Tails, upgrading Working with tails-i386-feature_ff24-0.22-20131111T0855Z-10f5a19.iso. Prefs ----- ... were cleaned up ([[!tails_ticket 5768]]), many were merged with Torbrowser's ones, and they are in the intended state at runtime. Unsafe browser -------------- Successfully tested French, Portuguese (both Brazil's and Portugal's flavours), German, and Arabic. Repeatedly opening and closing works as expected. Connects fine to the web as of 0f5eab28.
