From MozillaWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

This page will track declaring the latest mozilla-beta build as the final in this cycle and starting the build off of the mozilla-release repository.

Please note that issues found in the final moments of the beta period may still require us to rebuild before release

Focus Areas

Tracking Details

Startup Crashes:

  • bug 715401 – Firefox Crash @ nsCanvasRenderingContext2DAzure::ClearRect with Yahoo Toolbar
    • This is our highest priority issue ahead of release
    • Bas has an idea for how to forward fix this, but we'd really only consider it if we had a repro case. We're still trying to find a backout to perform before Friday.
    • Can we push anything through an add-on hotfix prior to release targeting Yahoo Toolbar users?
  • bug 711656 – Firefox 11.0a1 Crash in TextStageManager::AddStagesForSubrect with Intel GMA X4500HD, 4500MHD, and HD Graphics up to 8.15.10.2141
    • Latest patch landed on mozilla-central doesn't appear to have fixed the issue, so this will likely go unfixed on FF11
  • bug 716391 – Firefox Startup crash @ je_free | xul.dll@0xbb...f | nsAppShell::`. deleting destructor(unsigned int) with various proxies
    • Not a FF11 regression, but it's a shame we didn't find the root cause


Blocklist Opportunities:

  • bug 715744 – DLL block request: BExternal.dll
    • BExternal.dll is strongly represented in bug 715757 and bug 721645
    • Pinged Ehsan to land on m-c and m-a today
    • Jorge let us know that this DLL is from older versions of Babylon, we're trying to find out which ones currently
  • bug 722538 – block AMD Radeon HD 6290/6300/6310/6320 for DIRECT2D
    • Can still be performed post-release
    • Difficult to push because we can't test with just our beta users, and we don't have a repro case


Other:

  • bug 730285 – No update channel is found after restoring the OS to a previous point.
    • This is of note because next week is Patch Tuesday

Outstanding Issues

The Pwn2Own contest is currently being held as part of the CanSecWest conference. It's possible one or more security vulnerabilities will be announced which might require a last-minute re-spin, or possibly a quick chemspill follow-up release. It's also possible nothing will be found, like last year. [Pwn2Own 2012]

  • We may know as early as today that a vulnerability was found
  • We will know for sure by EOD Friday how many vulns, if any, were found
  • We will not receive details on the vulnerabilities until after the contest ends on Friday, possibly not until early next week
