Project Updates

Thumbnailing

Foreground thumbnailing

• WIP patch still awaiting Tim's feedback: bug 809056 - reduce thumbnailing impact when there are no thumbnail service consumers
• new (and applies to background thumbnailing also): bug 928014 - Investigate removing thumbnail IO worker thread

Background thumbnailing

• Ready to enable on beta and release (see bug 927688), with the possible exception of a hang in bug 902755, which is in the patch-review cycle, and a failing compositor assertion also discussed in that bug.
• We'd like to uplift enable-on-beta-and-release to Aurora so that it makes its way to beta sooner rather than later, on the next merge. These bugs need to be uplifted as well: bug 924665, bug 917610, bug 917609. All apply cleanly to Aurora. Tryserver results with those bugs applied to Aurora.
• fixed: bug 897872 - crash in mozilla::dom::ContentParent::RecvAddGeolocationListener
• in patch-review cycle: bug 902755 - Deadlock in mozilla::ipc::GeckoChildProcessHost::LaunchAndWaitForProcessHandle after turning on new tab page thumbnails
• patch for Dolske's review, but Gavin points out another approach that happens to be blocked by another bug: bug 908277 - Make sure the background thumbnail service can't open permission UI
• investigated further: bug 893404 - Intermittent browser_thumbnails_background.js | Test timed out
