This is Vista only. I will check that box if something is wrong with it. Regressed lately.

Anthony, please always put the link to the failure list into the URL field. Thanks.

VM has been upgraded to the latest security fixes and restarted. Lets watch the results in the next couple of days.

The failure we are getting here in the log is:

Timeout: bridge.execFunction("d0f4258f-bf91-11e1-a14b-40a6d9fc6d3f", bridge.registry["{7efaa23f-f4eb-4bed-8cac-f9ea3a1a758f}"]["runTestFile"], ["c:\\users\\mozilla\\appdata\\local\\temp\\tmpmfsmn_.mozmill-tests\\tests\\functional\\testPrivateBrowsing\\testAboutPrivateBrowsing.js"])

TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | Disconnect Error: Application unexpectedly closed
Timeout: bridge.set("f5b26d5e-bf91-11e1-a53e-40a6d9fc6d3f", Components.utils.import('resource://mozmill/modules/mozmill.js'))

I wasn't able to follow this testrun visually but it really looks like we crashed. I have to further investigate that.

As observed right now it doesn't look like that we crash but Firefox seems to freeze when loading the private browsing page on SUMO. The same happens for all the other tests we can see this disconnect. 

This is the report:

The page which gets loaded is:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-browse-web-without-saving-info?redirectlocale=en-US&as=u&redirectslug=Private+Browsing

So probably we should change this test to use a local page instead.

Attachment: Patch v1

Ok, so lets use a local page instead of the remote SUMO page. Works way fast now and hopefully should fix this problem.

Looks good today. No more failure in this test.

This was fixed by just using a local page instead of one with a Flash object included. This would have been blocked by bug 770821.
