You are using an RC, not the final

Firefox 3.5.1 will not take away to +. it is a new feature like in chrome (and I tihnk Safari).

Just try searching in the address bar. It will run a Google "i'm feeling lucky" search. If that fails, it gives a search page.

The bugday was not done “in response” to any feedback. It is part of a larger initiative on the part of the Mozilla QA community to increase community participation in Triage of UNCONFIRMED bugs on the Mozilla bug tracking database, Bugzilla (bugzilla.mozilla.org). This bugday had been planned from before Firefox 3.5 was released, and was originally scheduled for June 30th, but was moved because the release of Firefox 3.5 was scheduled over it. If you read the url in the bugday (http://quality.mozilla.org/events/2009/jun/30/firefox-bugday-catch-missed-blocker-critical-and-major-35-bugs), you can see that June 30 is in it, even though it actually happened on July 7th. This is because we did not want to change the URL after broadcasting it. Also, the original e-mail which I posted on the resuming of bugdays can be found at http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.quality/browse_thread/thread/acbfe5b45d533ac4#. You can see we did not plan this in response to “complaints”, but before Firefox 3.5 was even released.
You seem to misunderstand the reason for having a bugday. As I touched on earlier, bugdays are for encouraging members of the community to participate in bug triage. Triage is taking a bug reported to Mozilla, making sure it has enough information, ensuring it is in the correct component, and then trying to reproduce the issue. The Mozilla QA site (QMO, quality.mozilla.org), is a great place to learn more about this. Quoting the bugday page:

“During this Bug Day, we will focus on narrowing down unconfirmed bugs to find any important ones that have been reported, looking especially for regressions in Firefox 3.5 that weren't in Firefox 3.0.x. Once we find them they can be assigned to developers to be fixed in a security and stability release (e.g., Firefox 3.5.1).”

During this quarter at Mozilla, we will be focusing on reducing the number of UNCOMFIRMED bugs in Bugzilla, and this was the first part of that effort.
These bugdays are regular events. We have another scheduled for July 14th (http://quality.mozilla.org/events/2009/jul/14/firefox-35-bug-triage), and I invite you to come and join us.
