 And of course look for bugs! We have some important open bugs and recent
bugs right now found because of browser test failures:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54886 we are discussing
today whether to revert these changes or fix the expand/collapse navigation
properly.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54977 (CLOSED) caught
immediately in beta labs, caused VisualEditor to fail completely
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54977 (BELIEVE FIXED, NEEDS
CHECKING) causes intermittent VE failures in Chrome, unpleasant user
experience

and more to come I am sure.
