Minutes

Feature Review - Android Snippets

• Use of the term 'campaign' will be replaced with another to avoid any misunderstandings with the Google Campaign Tracking initiative, which is separate to this feature
• Marketing (Sam) has requested to see if we can use the audible notifications when a snippet arrives, while respecting the user's profile settings
• Final scheduling to be determined in 2 weeks' time
• MConnor understands the priority of this feature and the ask
• All parties within this cross-functional project are fully engaged
• Need to land l10n pieces (opt-in / opt-out) ASAP
  • AI Ian: to deliver UX this week; <Richard>: to organise implementation next week

ARMv6

• Different sources of information have been used to capture the hardware specifications for our list of ARMv6 phones
  • Will use PDADB as the single source of truth going forward
• Currently, phones that should be able to download and install are those that meet the minimum system requirements and OpenGL2 compatible
• Looking at the list of the most popular ARMv6 phones from Irina, some of the specifications require correcting (there are discrepancies)
• Want to ensure we have test results from these top phones
• AI Mark to post a blog to the XDA forum
• AI Karen to look at providing a sample test case to elicit specific feedback
• Will pursue organic testing via reaching out to the community
• Relative comparison to stock browser and not to Fennec on ARMv7
• AI Karen to look at scrubbing up the compiled feedback spreadsheet
• AI Erin to obtain a quote for third-party testing - Karen to then engage Paxton
• General consensus that we don't have enough testing for the desired comfort level releasing this feature on GA
  • Alex is the most optimistic out of the group, believing our GA audience is similar to that of our Beta audience
  • Karen is more conservative in her approach due to the nature of ARMv6 users and their less forgiving nature of a buggy / sub-par experience
• Go / No-Go decision on including ARMv6 into Fx 16 GA to be made at the next meeting (Oct 2)
