Risks with this Beta and ways to mitigate them through testing

Please list any risks related to the quality of this release.

• 1. YouTube (HTML5 player) - major focus in Beta 37
  • Several fixes since previous Beta (https://bugzil.la/1096089; https://bugzil.la/1132796; https://bugzil.la/1133633; https://bugzil.la/1134064; https://bugzil.la/1136576)
  • Testing to ensure the new fixes did not cause any new regressions
  • Will be covered by exploratory testing on YouTube with the HTML5 player
• 2. Open H264
  • https://bugzil.la/1129369 has the potential of breaking OpenH264 (see comment #8)
  • Testing the feature to verify that the plugin is still properly installed and works fine with WebRTC
  • Will be covered by sanity testing
• 3. Loop
  • https://bugzil.la/1137469 and https://bugzil.la/1137141 are important fixes that entered this Beta
  • Testing the feature to verify that Loop works correctly and the two fixes above work as expected
  • Will be covered by sanity testing
• 4. Printing
  • Some issues with printing seen for Firefox 36 (e.g. https://bugzil.la/1136855)
  • Testing the feature to verify that Printing works without major issues
  • Will be covered by regression testing

• Regression tests are run over the interval Beta 2 -> Release
• Tests to run for each Beta are picked to cover areas most affected by fixes since previous Beta (if there are no such areas, tests are picked randomly from the Full Beta Regression set).
• Tests are available in Mozilla Moztrap.
• In any case of failure in any regression tests, bugs need to be raised ASAP before proceeding to the exploratory testing.
