'''Area's where you could contribute to my project'''
 
* '''(A)''' You <u>have</u> written an extension before
** Testing is needed on the private browsing service. If you have written an extension in the past or are going to, it would sweet if you also test the new API [https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Ehsan/PrivateBrowsingForExtensions found here] - Let me know if API calls are working, nothing fancy has to be done, just has to work properly. Send me feedback and I can pass this on back to Mozilla Devs.
 
* '''(B)''' You have <u>not</u> written an extension before
** It would be very helpful if you could test out the new private browsing feature, specifically testing out the history component of it.
 
If you chose '''(B)'''
* Make sure you have an updated trunk build of Mozilla Firefox.
* Download the newest patch off [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248970 Bug #248970]
* Install the patch, ''refer to week 4 lab''
* Build Firefox
* Open Firefox.
* '''Follow this test plan''':
** Visit a bunch of websites, ranging from anything in particular
** Create a bookmark from one of the sites
** Enter private browsing mode '''Tools -> Private Browsing Mode''' with a new session
** Open your history and visit the same sites, the visit count should not increase (this is visible in History -> Show All History)
** Check if your bookmark has been visited, it should not.
** Visit new web sites, they should not be added to your history list.
** Add a bookmark from a new website.
** Exit private browsing mode
** Both bookmarks should still be accessible.
** Visit the sites in your history again, the visit count should now increase (History -> Show All History)
* If everything follows according to plan, let me know and I can add your name as a contributor.
* If there is a problem let me know, I will add your name as a contributor and forward the problem to the '''Bug #248970'''
