Projects

Persona slowness(ehsan/paul)

Results from the past week

• Paul is leaving Mozilla in ~ 1 week. Need to find a new owner for this work
• Resizing the image but haven't managed to make Firefox actually use the resized image. There's still a non-trivial chunk of work that needs to be done.

Super-slow-startup investigations - vlad, taras

Results from the past week

• bug 752868 (one aspect of add-ons manager SQLite slowness) fixed

Fix cache - hurley

Results from the past week

• Reviews continue on bug 722034. All 8 patches have been through this round of review. One needs rework, one has been suggested to be moved to bug 746018 (which blocks bug 722034, and all its patches are r+ but has inexplicably not yet landed)

Todo this week

• Continue trying to drive patches to final r+ and land these bugs
