QA
- Is there anything that could have been done to mitigate the third-party crash-spill?
- Is there anything QA can do to inform third-party QA processes? Are/can they be QAing their own software with the "next" Firefox release?
RelEng
- What is the cause of slow uptake rate since 13.0.1 was released unthrottled?
- Similar slow uptake was seen after 10.0.1 chemspill was unthrottled on February 12.
- Possibly a seasonal difference -- slower uptake in winter and summer than in spring?
- After a chemspill, users still on previous major must download a full update (~20MB) instead of partial (~8-10MB).
- We are still upgrading old versions to 12.0 first, for OS compatibility notification.
