After release, {{Bug|425576}} was filed, which showed a new crash in Firefox 2.0.0.13. After some investigation, the crash turned out to be a new topcrash in the release having multiple stacks and accounting for ~9% of all crashes in Firefox 2.0.0.13. | |||
We met on Tuesday afternoon at 4pm, we met and decided to firedrill Firefox 2.0.0.14 for this new topcrash. Our [[Releases/Firefox_2.0.0.14|estimated schedule]] is available, though it's completely subject to change. | |||
QA, igor, and others worked for two days to try and find or create a reproducible testcase. Even though one wasn't found, on Friday we opted to start builds based on code analysis. RC1 builds are now available and are being tested by QA. | |||
Because of this new issue, Thunderbird 2.0.0.13 is on hold and will likely be re-built as Thunderbird 2.0.0.14. | |||
