* To get more testing from Nightly users:
** {{bug|1064885}} - Added e10s opt-in prompt in Nightly
** {{bug|1064886}} - Added "Enable E10S" checkbox in Firefox Preferences pane
** Disable e10s if a11y ({{bug|1047076}}) or safe mode {{bug|1063848}} are enabled (to avoid known issues, for now)
** '''We might enable e10s for all Nightly users (for just one day) to get broader testing during Nightly 35.''' So now is a good time to report any critical e10s bugs you are seeing.

** E10S support
** B2G memory usage and performance
** APZ on B2G: Project Silk support, OOP support, "fake overscroll"
** WebGL Desktop performance
** WebGL Mobile performance

11:05 bsmedberg: blassey: jimm: I'll be following up with you later about the e10s crashes
11:05 blassey: ok
11:06 lmandel: bsmedberg: I see readonly update about v2 sigs. Do you want to tell people what that means?
11:06 cpeterson: e10s content crashes are up about 100x since the e10s opt-in prompt
11:06 bsmedberg: lmandel: not really, do you think I need to?
11:06 lmandel: bsmedberg: Only if you think people will be impacted in their work.
11:07 lmandel: bsmedberg: We should probably call out when this is done so that people know.
11:07 KaiRo: hmm, do I only voip badly in those larger meetings? I didn't hear complaints in the smaller ones I'm usually in
11:07 bsmedberg: I think rstrong will be sending an email around to dev.platform when the current oranges/issues are solved before we actually flip things over
11:07 lmandel: KaiRo: You were fine in the channel meeting.
11:07 lmandel: bsmedberg: k
11:08 KaiRo: lmandel: ok, maybe the added traffic of more people on the meeting tips it over or so
11:09 KaiRo: btw, "Firefox is not starting now" seems to be a quite common issue with e10s
11:09 armenzg_mtg: cpeterson, I will mention it here
11:09 armenzg_mtg: I tried e10s on Linux Desktop nightly recently and it was a pretty awful experience
11:10 armenzg_mtg: enabling it by default even for one day will be pretty terrible for nightly testers
11:10 KaiRo: snorp: did you get a crash reporter at all for that non-starting thing with e10s?
11:10 snorp: KaiRo: yeah, standby, will paste
11:11 snorp: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/c5ef1fca-fde0-44c8-95ef-680052140916
11:11 KaiRo: snorp: ok, good to know, startup crashes sound like the first thing we need to fix
11:11 snorp: yes.
11:11 armenzg_mtg: cpeterson, what is the preferred way to give feedback about e10s?
11:11 KaiRo: xpc::AddonWindowOrNull
11:11 KaiRo: sounds like fun with add-ons
11:12 cpeterson: armenzg_mtg: you can mention e10s problems in #e10s or just file a bug. Be sure to include the word "e10s" in your bug summary so our e10s triage queries will find it!
11:13 dveditz: armenzg: there's a link to file bugs at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Contributing
11:13 armenzg: cpeterson, dveditz thank you gentlemen - I will dog food again
11:13 dveditz: also descriptions of known issues and links to known bugs for dupe finding
11:13 dveditz: on that page
11:13 dveditz: I mean a link to a query
11:14 KaiRo: snorp: can you file this one? sounds like this specific signature only exists today
11:14 snorp: KaiRo: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1068163
11:14 cpeterson: armenzg: TBH, if you had e10s crash problems, you might want to wait a day before dogfooding again for some recent fixes to make their way to mozilla-central and then Nightly builds.
11:15 KaiRo: snorp: awesome, thanks. the signature seems to be all only today's build. fun.
11:15 snorp: KaiRo: yay
11:15 armenzg: cpeterson, I'm good with crashes - IIRC I was having responsiveness issues
11:15 cpeterson: armenzg: oh, that problem has not been fixed yet <:)
11:15 snorp: heh
11:15 snorp: cpeterson: what causes it
11:16 snorp: shouldn't it be *more* responsive
11:16 armenzg: cpeterson, k thanks
11:16 armenzg: snorp, in some cases :P
11:16 cpeterson: snorp: I don't know the cause, but there is likely some IPC bottleneck between parent and content process.
11:17 cpeterson: snorp: the browser should be more responsive (because its UI thread is not blocked on content as much), but all tabs run in the same process that can block each other.
