• hallvord identified an issue with Google search suggestions - bug #?

• ua changes for firefox os
  • overholt's team will probably handle any work related to developing new WebAPIs required to meet UA detection use cases

Other Issues (tools, general, ...)

• Meeting frequency: Lots is happening. Should we start meeting weekly again?
• Meeting time? Can we make this earlier so that Hallvord can attend?
• Documenting UA use cases https://wiki.mozilla.org/UA/UseCases
• webcompat-internal mailing list for any information that cannot be shared publicly

• For anyone testing: starting domain as input, ex, netflix.com, netflix.com/ www.netflix.com, is important in tests due to chained redirects
  • we should create recommendations for QA and other testers

New Action Items

• [lmandel] Follow up with akeybl about partner builds that are not picking up ua override changes - jsmith noticed with youtube
• [jsmith] Follow up with Chris about getting app url lists to test with changing UA
