Beta

• Overall rate: 2.5, without AMD crash ~1.5, shutdownhangs are 0.23, without those we should get to 1.0-1.2 range, so we are still outside of that.

User Advocacy

There may be an increase in video problems in Firefox 37.0.2, but the comments aren't consistent: some people say videos don't work and some people say that audio doesn't work. Some people say Youtube works fine and some say it's Youtube is busted. Sigh.

Roundtable

  • yes and no
  • We should do a build soon of an esr release to make sure they are disabled
• (lmandel) Release Notes project kicking off this quarter. Send your feedback on relnotes to relman.
