Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Testing Graveyard :: Mozmill, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

For some of our update tests I have seen a critical failure in frame.js when we tried to call:

Services.obs.notifyObservers(cancelQuit, "quit-application-requested", null);

Not sure what exactly this is about. We should investigate if it happens more often.

Here the logging information:

00:02:17.402 TEST-START | test1.js | teardownModule

We are not going back to use Mozmill for our UI testing of Firefox and this failure hasn't even be seen for a long time.
