Release Rapid Response Team - Firefox 2.0.0.6 -> Firefox 3.0.1 Major Update
This is the coordination page for the first attempt by the new & experimental Firefox Release Rapid Response Team.
The team will be watching for feedback from all over and reports of "possible" or "emerging" issues will be aggregated here as soon as they're discovered. As issues get confirmed, they'll be turned into bugs and passed on to the Release Drivers team and nominated for fixing in the next dot release. Those confirmed issues will also be "written up" for deployment by Support, blog commenters, etc.
Stability
Crashing or hanging on Exit seems to be more common after updating from 2 to 3. No specific solution identified. Some might be add-on related.
Google Desktop seems to be a major crasher for updated to Firefox 3 users. -- Known Bug, need to find bug #
Add-ons
??Add-ons with available updates not being updated at initial migration?? http://is.gd/1QmN
Delicious for Firefox breaks the URL bar completely for many. Solution, set Delicious to Classic Mode or disable. Temporary workaround, restart Firefox.
Skype extension breaks Google Maps and other websites. Solution, disable or uninstall.
Flash failing. Solution, disable and re-enable in Tools->Add-ons->Plug-ins, or update to Flash Player 10 RC http://is.gd/gMr (but RC gets rejected by some sites)
Old Firebug doesn't work at all in Firefox 3. The newest BETA version (firebug-1.2.0b15.xpi) of Firebug mostly works with Firefox 3 & is available here http://is.gd/1p0a
No style sheets loading or images not loading seems to be from Web Developer extension but not 100% on this.
Update Mechanism
Crash on startup immediately after upgrade may be bug 427715 - TOPCRASH - "nsCryptoHash apparently being called while NSS is in shutdown state [@ NSSRWLock_LockRead_Util]"
Broken Features
Data Migration or Loss
Cookies/Logins not saving. cookies.sqlite getting corrupted for some set of users. Solution, delete cookies.sqlite from profile.
Bookmarks from the last n months gone. If user previously used a Firefox 3 pre-release and went back to Firefox 2 and accumulated more bookmarks, when she goes to Firefox 3, it reads her Bookmarks from the new format created back when she tried the Firefox 3 beta or other pre-release. Solution, remove that places.sqlite file, back-ups, and signons3 (documented here http://is.gd/1DSj )
Sites not working
Ad-Block Plus breaks the new Facebook. Workaround is to disable Adblock Plus or white-list facebook.com
Google Calendar and Reader seem to require a cache clear for newly updated Firefox 3 users. Not sure why or even 100% sure but that's been reported several times right after 3.0 shipped.
