Specifically, the 32bit plugin-container and libraries that it loads. The one and only plugin we make use of for tests is Adobe Flash. There is no other plugin we currently test with Mozmill. So by enabling tests for 32bit builds, those tests will also run. -- Henrik ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Support for 32bit on OS X and testing infrastructure
As I have read [1] that Google will drop support for 32bit mode of Chrome with the upcoming 39 release in November. I wonder what our support plans for 32bit mode on OS X look like. Is it something we want to keep, to allow e.g. users of Chrome, who cannot run a 64bit version of Chrome, to switch over to Firefox? Or is it something we would like to follow? I just wonder because of bugs like 960509, which went unnoticed for a while. Do we actually have test coverage of the 32bit version via TBPL, or not at all? How stable are we? Would we be able to catch regressions in the case of no tests are running for this mode? Via bug 967055 there is at least the question to enable Mozmill tests for the 32bit binary. Before I want to continue with it, I would like to have some feedback here first.
