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

Current Status


Outstanding Issues/Concerns


Stability

Current Status

General crash level of 15.05 is at about the same level as we had for the last 14 betas.

Outstanding Issues/Concerns

  • Very little data so far on the new flash version that was shipped
  • bug 778364 Somewhat minor, but would be nice to get the signatures fixed before we ship Firefox 15

Mobile specific stability notes

Current Status

We look a bit crashier than the last 14 betas have (and 14.0.1 does), but it's hard to compare due to at least ~25% of the 15.0b5 crashes being fixed by a patch that landed for 15.0b6 and we don't know the exact amount this will fix. It seems like we should be OK for release, though.

Outstanding Issues/Concerns

bug 700583 is ~2% of our 15.0b5 crashes, but this is on 14 release as well, and we're not even sure if the patch fixes the mobile issue for sure.

QA

Current Status - Desktop

  • Functional testing looks good to go
  • 20 critical fixes remain to be verified, though we could do that in parallel
  • Still need to look at fixes checked in for Beta 6
  • Still need to verify multiple-version partial updates
  • Do we need to spotcheck new locales? ie. ach
    • Not for 15b6, will discuss for future versions (16b1 at the earliest)
    • Proposal: smoketest automation, update automation (where available), and manual branding spotcheck before release uplift
  • SCHEDULE: Possible 15b6 sign-off to ship by EOD today, will give go-no-go by 3pm today
