Major Topics for This Week

Stability
Still doing OK. We have Nightly and Aurora under 10 per 100ADI. Beta and Release are under 5 per 100ADI. There are some actionable top crashers though and we'll still keep hammering at those.
Firefox Marketplace
The Marketplace will go into a "developer preview" release this week. The required sign-in will be dropped and people will be able to install webapps from the Marketplace. Firefox for Android (Nightly and Aurora) is the focused clients.
Memory/Space Management
Just wanted to point out that we are started to land more changes that improve Firefox memory and footprint behavior. Things like: Thumbnail and history expiration, Zombifying tabs on memory pressure, and refactoring the favicon storage.
Responsiveness
Some additional improvements focused on UI responsiveness are also landing or will land soon. Things like: Tab tray animation, Tab stubbing in Java, Top Sites query, and Awesomescreen/AboutHome loading.
Welcome jchen
Seriously, say hi. He'll start out working on some IME bugs that cpeterson dropped on the floor to work on b2g.

Round Table

SUMO

Release Firefox Ratings on Google Play:

5 star -> 61,688

4 star -> 21,656

3 star -> 13,889

2 star -> 9,053

1 star -> 14,246

Overall rating: 3.89

Google Play Reviews Trending up much higher after the release of 16.0.1 when compared to previous releases. This is directly due to Feedback Solicitation, which in turn is directing many more users to Input.

Trending Topics:

There are a few issues that a lot of users are running into on Release:

  • Two Backspaces deletes almost all content in Text Area bug 792928.
  • Droid RAZR is crashing a lot with 16.0.1, this wasn't seen in Beta (top Crashing Device in Beta 16 was Nexus 7, Droid RAZR crashes about the same as Nexus 7 on Release). bug 800569
  • Make our UI easier for users! Accessing Bookmarks and the Clear History Dialog are the two hardest UI pieces for users to find/use. bug 802201 and bug 795331
  • Website issues showing up in Release: bug 793216, bug 789872

Good Points:

  • Performance. While user complaints of Crashes and Freezes seem to be up somewhat, User praise of speed/performance are also up!
  • Reader Mode, We've seen no negative feedback on Reader, only Neutral to Positive.

Beta

Beta Feedback Summary will show up here and in your inbox later today.
