  3. Please verify that, as you type each character, the corresponding character in the above text is highlighted.

Test (E)

  1. This test requires editing your preferences file (prefs.js under your profile directory), so you'll need to quit Mozilla to begin.
  2. With a text editor, open your prefs.js file. Please add the string below:

  3. pref("ui.textSelectBackgroundAttention", "#33CCFF");

  4. Save the file
  5. Restart Mozilla and repeat the acceptance tests. Note that the highlight (background) color should now be this light blue.
  6. When the acceptance tests are completed and you have verified that the highlight color is properly changed, you may delete that preference. Don't forget you'll need to quit Mozilla before editing prefs.js, then restart Mozilla to see the change.

If the results you obtained matched the intended results, you are finished, then you have successfully completed the Type Ahead Find Functional Testcases.

Sample deviations may include the text not being highlighted, the highlight not disappearing for a long period of time (anywhere over 3 to 6 seconds), to windows not being spawned, etc.

If, at any time, the results you obtained deviated from the proper results, follow this procedure.
  1. Quit Mozilla entirely. This means closing all running windows, eg, the Mail/News application, etc.
  2. Reatart Mozilla and return to this test page.
  3. Please rerun the tests.
If the problem persists, please follow the bug filing instructions on the main page.
