_ Firefox for Android - Program Status Report - July-22-2016
Overall Project Health
On track, issues well managed Some risks, unknowns without clear mitigations Blocked on deliverables, needs decision, escalation required
Version | Phase/Branch | Health | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Firefox 48 | Beta | Development continues on Push Notifications. APZ enabled. | |
Firefox 49 | Aurora | Feature-focused first-run experiment, and Core Ping work are on track for 49. | |
Firefox 50 | Trunk/Nightly | 'Move recent tabs into history home panel' is locked. We need to defer other visual updates. This is a transitional release which will be light on features and most of the focus will be building up the team in Taipei; currently they are ramping up the hiring process. We are keeping the risk profile for this release 'green' because we will maintain quality although the focus is not to ship a feature-heavy release. |
Exec Summary/Hot Topics
- Overall roadmap for Fennec is being revisited and work re-prioritized as develop efforts transition to the Taipei team as of Firefox 50.
