Previous Actions

Schedule Update

• A new version of norton is breaking about half a million of our users
• Trusteer might be causing issues on XP as well - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1300545 (not clear if newer version is affected or not)

• 49 RC3 desktop build Monday (yesterday) Released today.
• 49 RC2 mobile build Monday.

Main driver is the slow script warning. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1284511#c54

• (Ryan) Bug 1299593 - Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Lookup Error since Firefox Version 48.0.2 due to Array.prototype.values

 - Should we block 49 on this? https://bugzil.la/1299593

IT head's up: IRCCloud (not IRC) outage from 1000-1300 PT On Saturday. If you expect to need IRC for coordination on 49, please make other plans or escalate to #moc (hwine) - https://whistlepig.mozilla.org/en-US/detail/782/

Add-ons

Stability

• [philipp] huge startup crash issue developing in the past couple of hours apparently caused by a signature update of symantec: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302343 (nearly 300.000 submitted crash reports so far)
  • primarily older versions of firefox release and esr seem to be affected & users reporting that updating firefox to the latest version can solve the startup crash
  • maybe it would help if we could offer a sha-1 signed 48.0.2 build on the download-page to xp & vista users (instead of the 43.0.1 build which crashes instantly for affected users)
    • sha1 builds are already present at https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/48.0.2/win32-sha1/
      • also 45.3.0esr and 48.0.2 are affected: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/signature/?date=%3C2016-09-13T17%3A02%3A42&date=%3E%3D2016-09-06T17%3A02%3A42&product=Firefox&version=48.0.2&signature=nsSocketOutputStream%3A%3AWrite&_columns=date&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform&_columns=reason&_columns=address&_sort=-date&page=1#summary
        • maybe norton is removing some needed file for Firefox, so when users update the files are restored? (or they modify a file that gets restored?)

Beta

overall crash rate: 1.10; browser: 0.96, content: 0.14

• [philipp] rc2 crash data generally looks good
• how are we going to deal with websense users & the 49 update? (crashes from bug 1294650 are still present in 49.0 builds)
• (liz) I was planning to leave users before 48, still not updating to 49.

• Intel crash: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1296630 Went away in the RC 1&2 builds. Will it be in RC3?

• Enabling e10s multi in Nightly as of 52

   probably got to Aurora and then stop there (?) 

   we need to create a plan of attack

Are we worried about stability?

   worried about memory use and functional breakage

   issues with service workers; we think they are edge casey 

   one of the other thing: user perception of stabiliy is a big deal

   this first initial landing will be 2 content processes - until we eventually
