Marketing/Communications

• RelEng/Alex have discussed changing What's New and First Run visibility for Aurora/Beta (at Grace's request)
  • Meeting needed to discuss options and timelines

• Update betas 4.0b7 through 9.0b6 to a 11.0bN

• Can we monitor 3.6.13 downtake next week and then file a bug for the next pocket of users once we verify we're making a dent?

Roundtable

• ESR: Any expected incoming security changes that we should hold going to build for ESR for?
  • If so, we can discuss releasing a nightly as our "beta" to the EWG list

• We're still discussing how to change the channel meeting around - expect an update soon.
  • Basic overview is that we want this meeting to focus on coordination, approvals, hot issues for release, and investigations that have gone cold
  • We're discussing splitting out Security/QA/Firefox/Platform/JS/Other when doing bug triage as well

• FF11 Slowness, how to diagnose perf regressions in the future
  • Also, can we change input in the short term to get better information on "slowness"?

• Bugs we're still driving to resolution for FF11:
  • bug 716594 – OOM crash in nsNSSCertificate::Read
  • bug 717521 – Moving the map in Bing Maps locks my X11
  • bug 729817 – freezes and crashes @ nouveau_dri.so when on github

• Other concerning bugs
  • bug 704765 – Crash in gfxASurface::Release() mainly at startup
  • bug 715156 – JS code no longer work for select options as array in a Greasemonkey script (index and name setters don't really work via XrayWrapper)
