Mobile/Firefox for Android/Status Report/27-Jul-2016

_ Firefox for Android - Program Status Report - July-22-2016

Overall Project Health

On track, issues well managed Some risks, unknowns without clear mitigations Blocked on deliverables, needs decision, escalation required

Version	Phase/Branch	Notes
Firefox 48	Beta	Development continues on Push Notifications. APZ enabled.
Firefox 49	Aurora	Feature-focused first-run experiment, and Core Ping work are on track for 49.
Firefox 50	Trunk/Nightly	'Move recent tabs into history home panel' is locked. We need to defer other visual updates. This is a transitional release which will be light on features and most of the focus will be building up the team in Taipei; currently they are ramping up the hiring process. We are keeping the risk profile for this release 'green' because we will maintain quality although the focus is not to ship a feature-heavy release.

Exec Summary/Hot Topics

Overall roadmap for Fennec is being revisited and work re-prioritized as develop efforts transition to the Taipei team as of Firefox 50.
