<b>From doug's email: 11-23-11</b><br>
<i>I've made some changes to driver blocklisting recently which hit every platform and enable a downloadable blocklist on them. There are tons of edge cases here which I don't have the hardware to test and I think this would benefit from a proper QA run; it would be pretty bad if there were mistakes here, since users could be blocked from features even if their drivers are fine, and others could be allowed to use features that are supposed to be blocked. This whole effort is done primarily to allow blocklisting Android devices, but as a side effect, other OS's can now use this system.<i>
* For reference here are the bugs relevant to this:
** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668004|Bug 668004- Generalize the downloaded GPU blacklist to non-Windows platforms]
** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699482|Bug 699482 - Talos complains about GfxDriverInfo static constructors, they might slow down startup]
** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704710|Bug 704710 - Refactor GfxDriverInfo/GfxInfo(Base) to support string device and vendor IDs]
** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689598|Bug 689598 - Implement downloadable device blacklisting for Android]
** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700124|Bug 700124 - Attempting to use JNI in child process [@ mozilla::AndroidBridge::EnsureJNIThread]


In Addition to the blocklist testing, we'll conduct a graphics compatibility test with our outsource vendor IBeta to conduct a comprehensive graphics and system compatibility across the current channel Firefox versions:
