Product Status Updates

Firefox Future (6, 7, 8)

• The source code migrations took place on Tuesday, 2011-07-05 (on schedule)
  • Thanks to everyone who helped in the war room!
• We offered Firefox 7 (desktop) to the Aurora channel on Thursday, 2011-07-07
  • There are currently discussions about mobile creating an Aurora channel
• We offered Firefox 6 (desktop and mobile) to the Beta channel on Friday, 2011-07-08

Firefox Current (3.6, 4.0, 5.0)

• We created Firefox 5.0.1 and 3.6.19 to work around Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) issues (see the blog post for details)
  • We had to create an out-of-band update because Lion is coming before 6 but after 5
  • Apple hasn't announced a date more exact than "July"
• We pushed Firefox 3.6.19 to the 3.6 beta audience on Friday, 2011-07-08
  • Thanks to QA and RelEng for the quick turnaround and working late on a Friday!
• We did not push 5.0.1 to anyone (as the beta channel is running 6)
  • Some users appear to have downloaded it from ftp already though
• We hope to release both today (Monday, 2011-07-11) and hope to only offer updates for Mac users
  • No sense having all users download / install updates for a Mac-specific bug, but there are some mechanical issues to work out still
• Note that there is no need for a Firefox mobile 5.0.1

• We've seen some questions about 3.6 EOL. Short answer: still thinking/discussing, canceled a previously scheduled meeting
  • We have committed to releasing Firefox 3.6.20 (previously it was 3.6.19, but the update above took that version number), shipping at the same time as Firefox 6
  • More 3.6 details/planning later in August

Thunderbird

• Thunderbird 6 went to Beta channel and Thunderbird 7 went to Aurora channel last week

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation.
