If this is expected, adding an explicit fake check would be less confusing.
If it's unexpected, investigation is needed on this weird behavior.

NB: SeaMonkey reports lots of checks (as expected).

"blocking2.0=?":
This test currently fails on SeaMonkey.
The current behavior makes it impossible to assert what the situation is on the Firefox side...
And the feature was blocking FF 4.0.

Don't think we can block the release on what looks like a broken tests, Neil can you take a quick look and verify that there is nothing more sinister going on here?

This test doesn't really run on Firefox and is all broken on SeaMonkey: there are various FF/SM bugs filed on this test.
Could it be disabled until it does run and pass on (both) FF and SM?

Attachment: (Av1) Skip this test until it explicitly passes on tinderboxes

Comment 5

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

"blocking2.0=?":
As it seems bugs like bug 524545 won't be fixed in this cycle, can this broken test be disabled ftm?

Comment 6

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

The test can be disabled, but I'm not sure I'd block the release on this as opposed to just accepting the patch to disable the test.

Comment 7

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Nothing has changed since I marked it blocking-. Still wouldn't block on a faulty test unless there is evidence that there is a real problem here.

(Av1) Skip this test until it explicitly passes on tinderboxes

This will be fixed by bug 628238.

Comment 9

[Neil Deakin]

Don't think this is relevant anymore.
