Releases/Firefox 3.6/RRRT

Release Rapid Response Team - Firefox 3.6  !

This is the coordination page for the the new Firefox Release Rapid Response Team.

The team will be watching for feedback from all over and reports of "possible" or "emerging" issues will be aggregated here as soon as they're discovered. As issues get confirmed, they'll be turned into bugs and passed on to the Release Drivers team and nominated for fixing in the next dot release. Those confirmed issues will also be "written up" for deployment by Support, blog commenter, Firefox_answers, etc.

Stability

• Sounds like yslow is crashing firefox: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=+firefox+yslow
  • ydn has pushed a new yslow version to addons.mozilla.org to fix problems

Add-ons

Update Mechanism

Broken Features

• If you have >2 tabs as homepage and then start Firefox, only the first two tabs are loaded.
  • Caused by Tab Mix Plus, see [1]

Data Migration or Loss

• Bookmarks
  • users with the TorButton add-on installed "lose" their bookmarks; disabling TorButton fixes the problem (see SUMO report)
    • note: Problem was reproducible with TorButton 1.2.3, so please make sure you use TorButton 1.2.4 (latest version) before you upgrade to Firefox 3.6

Sites not working

• Anything using some versions of the FCKEditor will not work: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/737.cfm

• Issues on Facebook (now fixed)
  • http://bugs.developers.facebook.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8389
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542185

General, Unknown, or Other

• Setting more than two tabs in startup home page loads only two at startup. Hitting the home button gives you the rest. [2] [3]

• People are reporting mouse scrolling issues. I am able to see the issue when the mouse cursor hovers plugin content, but it still needs investigation. - juanb https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483136
