| |
| See background summary, market analysis, goals and objectives, [[Firefox/win64/meetingarchive|here]].
| |
| == Goal ==
| |
| To Release Win64 in GA before the end of 2015 in order to offer our users better experience with improvements in stability, performance, and security. Deliver these benefits in a phased roll-out and avoid the breakage for our General Audience. This means opt-in only until we are confident that we have achieved parity with Win32 for our users.
| |
| | |
| == What have we accomplished so far to reach it? ==
| |
| √ Solved test bustage<br>
| |
| √ Release automation for Aurora and Beta <br>
| |
| √ Merged to Nightly prior to the 10th anniversary launch and rode the trains to Firefox 38 Aurora Developer Edition<br>
| |
| √ Win64 builds are currently available, [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ here]<br>
| |
| √ Temporarily Reinstate Support for Silverlight {{bug|1225293}}<br>
| |
| √ Post GA version of Win64, here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ <br>
| |
| √ Publish Blog Post: Firefox 64-bit for Windows Available with Limited Plugin Support
| |
| | |
| == Next Steps ==
| |
| #Prioritize Stub Installer to help release automation testing and for download/install experience for our users, see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1140411#c7
| |
| #Identify a mid to long-term roadmap
| |
| | |
| ==Proposed Roll Out Plan (as of Q1 2015)==

| | {{done|}} || Full Installer || '''Firefox 38''' Dev Edition || Launched Feb 27th || 1% Developers and Gamers || 64-Bit Flash (unsupported) || Add-On Compat = clean slate || '''Available for language repacks only!''' Found, [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/all/ here] so it's truly an opt-in experience. NB: Moz.org button displayed on the main Dev Edition [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ page] and the beta [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/all/ page] [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1126837#c58 doesn't offer Win32 and Win64 in parallel], it auto detects so the user can't install Win64 and revert to Win32 should they want to.
