Previous Actions

  • Alex to do analysis for bug 769011 – Google/Gmail text becomes symbols based upon about:support info Matt provided

Schedule Update

  • Firefox (desktop/Android) 14.0.1 released this morning at 8AM PT
    • The trains are yet again aligned! The power..
    • Updates will be unthrottled till Thursday, and a final decision on rolling a .1 or unthrottling will be made by 7/25

  • FF15.0 beta 1 (building now) will be released Thursday, and FF16.0a2 (Aurora) will be enabled this Friday

Add-ons

  • AVG and Conduit add-ons bypass the third-party opt-in dialog. We're giving them time to fix it by the end of the week and will probably be blocklisted.
  • bug 719601 - 1.8 SDK incompatibility on Nightly. The workaround is to use the 1.9 beta.

Stability

Aurora


Beta

  • [akeybl] We've taken bug 764192 – Temporarily enable some jemalloc assertions on FF15 (test channels only) to help identify malloc errors in 3rd party add-ons/plugins. This change now produces these crash signatures. Our main goal once 764192 hits the beta channel is to find new/significant crashes on that list, figure out if they had a different signature previously, and make sure we have a bug on file.

Release

  • Tomorrow's Socorro update is very low risk and mostly admin-UI related

Mobile

Stability

  • Jelly Bean, Cyanogenmod quitting and the onPrepareOptionsMenu crash bugs are the ones to watch for release
  • Aurora is more unstable than Nightly; Chances are that this initial beta will be unstable comparitively and it would be nice to fix some of these issues before we release in beta.

See Mobile Stability from Platform Meeting for more details
