I see you are running some tests with Aurora, please, you need to verify in safe mode then with a new profile.

Hi Loic,

can you please state the reason why do we need to do the test cases in safe mode and with a new profile ?

Where in the test case this has been mentioned as a pre-condition ? . When i executed these test cases on previous nightly builds, the test case was working fine . How come all of a sudden  its failing on this build ?  

can you please comment on the same  


Regards,
Diwakar

Any issue you log can be caused by an add-on or by a third party entity independent of Firefox. That's why it is useful to try in Safe Mode, as that will disable your add-ons, hardware acceleration and a few other preferences. 

Trying with a clean profile helps the people who are trying to reproduce the issue to figure out how widespread the problem is, if clear STR can be found or if it's due to a 'dirty' profile, hardware configuration or any other cause. This can't be escalated to a developer until this information is sorted out.

That said, this works fine for me too under Ubuntu. 
Does it work in safe mode or with a clean profile?

Thanks, Diwakar.
It must be an add-on problem. You can try disabling them one by one to find the culprit.
