Re: Thunderbird Test week

Sorry for top-posting, but is there a debug build of the beta for Linux?

Lately, I noticed a rather uncomfortable NS_ASSERTION which is triggered
very often in the current COMM-CENTRAL's M-C portion (in my own DEBUG BUILD)
and just wonder if that NS_ASSERTION is triggered in the DEBUG BUILD of
released Beta TB.

The problem in question is as follows:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=842114

I am using Thunderbird for work, and so I want to make sure that something
that could be fixed will have been fixed by the release date of new version.
[ Am I too optimistic :-) ]
