Topics for This Week

Fx32 Post-Merge

We decided to disable two uses of ButtonToast in Fx32 on Aurora: Disable undo close tab toast (bug 1023406) and Disable switch-to-new-tab button toast (bug 1023407)

Video Casting and Roku

We made a quiet push for Nightly testing of the video casting feature. We are working toward adding more device support in Fx33 and will prepare a louder push for that timeframe.

Firefox Search

We are moving forward on multiple fronts: UX is focusing on an MVP on which we can build. Dev is iterating with UX on the designs. Dev is working to get the code in mozilla-central. We added a bugzilla category and bugs are being filed.

Past

• 1019595 - Lack of contrast on editing mode's 'X' button when using a lightweight theme

nalexander

• Past:
  • Custom server support for FxA and Sync (bug 1003877, waiting on r?rnewman)
  • Waiting to land bug 1021055, part of improving Remote Tabs (bug 899643)

• Future:
  • Removing beautiful switch-to-new-tab ButtonToast on Aurora bug 1023407
  • Integrating Search Activity into m-c bug 1021864
  • Possibly helping integrate MozStumbler into m-c (bug needed!)
    • Not thrilled with the plan outlined in https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozStumbler-Firefox-Mobile. I propose that we integrate MozStumbler in a manner similar to Search Activity, as (essentially) it's own sub-project.
