** sfoster:
*** Bug 1346280 - Replace yosemiteFocusRingShadow macro with --focus-ring-box-shadow variable in OSX theme.
**** I'm still seeing some glowy focus rings, who is UX contact for this stuff?
***** shorlander, I guess?
*** 1334642 -  Synchronous flush when activating/deactivating a window
**** working on a mochitest and back/forth with review of implementation
*** Fixed/Landed:
**** Bug 1287763 - [10.10+] update remaining OS X textbox focus styling
**** Bug 1344308 - Share and extend toolkit's eslint rules in PSM
** Jim (squib)
*** Bug 1346671 -  Enable the no-useless-concat eslint rule in toolkit/
**** Patch up, has r+ (with comments), should land today
**** Figured out the `firefoxtree` HG extension and how to push to MozReview and kick off a try build
**** Just need to figure out the right way to amend a commit in HG and push it to MozReview...
***** [jaws] i use the `hg histedit` command along with 'edit'. If you run `hg histedit`, then you should see your list of commits, and you can change the "pick" text to "edit", which will then allow you to edit your commit. Once you are done making your changes, you run `hg histedit --continue` and it will update your commit and allow you to change your commit message
***** [jaws] if you want to squash multiple commits, you can use `hg histedit`, and use the 'roll' command to "roll-up" your commits, replacing "pick" with "roll" on the changeset that you want to roll-up (choose "roll" on the lowest in the list, and the one that you choose roll will get merged with the one above it in the list)
***** [squib] Ok, so it's basically `git rebase -i`. Cool! Looks like there's an `--amend` option for `hg commit` in newer versions too...
**** (Only spent 3 hours tweaking my zsh config to display HG bookmarks!)
***** 'hg wip' gives you a treeview of draft phase (ie things you're working on) commits and any ancestors. @ used for the current commit. Very useful to keep track of where you are, how to rebase on top of new incoming csets off m-c, etc. This also lists bookmarks, I think. If it doesn't work when you try this, ./mach mercurial-setup can create the alias for you. :-)
*** Bug 1222032 - Improve copy for disambiguating login update
**** Started looking at this, should have a patch ready today
*** Bug 1247363 - Replace "password manager" language in the HTTP Auth prompt
**** Ditto
*** Bug 1322876 - "contextmenu" event has mozInputSource == MOZ_SOURCE_MOUSE even when hitting the context menu key on the keyboard
**** DOM bug I found a few weeks back
**** Patch up but no tests yet
**** Next up: figure out how to write tests and land it!

* Status updates
** Dao
*** back from PTO today -- nothing to report (also may be late to or miss the meeting)
** Gijs
*** Perf fixes for history import landed on m-c
**** Uplift to beta/release denied
**** Uplift to aurora still pending
*** Looking at perf fixes for bookmarks next
*** Outreachy location bar stuff still going strong
** Jared
*** Moving lwts to css variables is a bigger project than it sounds. There are lots of places that are/were setting inline styles to implement as lwt, and switching to lwt means setting those as styles in the stylesheets, which are now affected by the cascade, and content security issues with loading external files in non-system principal stylesheets. Yay! /s
** Mike
*** Theming API
**** Addon Manager integration still ongoing
**** Next up:
***** Deprecating DSS
***** Extending LWT with Chrome manifest properties
*** Sessionstore
**** GSOC applicants are requesting info
*** Find toolbar
**** Brad Werth is still working on platform things - most important patch is still pending review tho
**** I'm working on a few small bugs whilst waiting cycles of Theming API project
** Verdi - will miss today - at workweek in Toronto.
*** Can/should we appeal this? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1341097#c44
**** [dolske] probably not, RC2 is pretty late to land a significant change like this for an alaready-shipped issue.
** pdol
** markus
* Roundtable
** ~5 regressions related to zoom-controls in the urlbar, possibly 4 or 5 of them will be fixed by the patch described in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1300376#c25 but it gets called potentially twice as necessary. Though we don't have any numbers that show it is actually hurting perf. Can we land that patch? The only pushback is related to worries about not doing this in the most efficient way, but in the meantime we are actually broken.

**** landed
** Gijs
*** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1341097
**** hangs when importing history from chrome
**** This took 80-90% of my last week
***** basically, our tools for detecting/profiling UI starvation are not great
**** patches are up, try looks... a bit meh, probably need to fix some jetpack and other test issues ( https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=9d516f443183&selectedJob=79103182 )
***** hoping to get this landed in m-c this week
***** unclear whether we'll be able to uplift all/part of it
**** "are we doing anything about bookmarks hanging?" next step / followup
***** data (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332225#c14) shows similarly bad times for bookmarks as history
*** Outreachy!
**** Svetlana landed initial versions of patches to improve initial experience of the awesomebar
***** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1211726
***** And a followup to store these in a file:
****** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336946
**** This is currently limited to the nightly channel
**** We have 2 other remaining followups:
***** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1340108 - handling 'www.' prefix correctly (not as trivial as it sounds...)
***** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1341081 - need to de-duplicate the items we suggest correctly (internal unifiedcomplete mechanics work in interesting ways)
****** already has a patch, might want a test
**** Need to work out how to create a realistic set of prefilled sites to provide to users to have useful autocomplete options
***** If you think there are people who need to be involved in this please let me know.
**** Marco filed a bug on what we need to make this ride the train
***** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1340663
** Jared
*** Theming
**** Got r+ on CSS variables for lightweight themes on tabs, have a follow-up patch to remove browser-lightweighttheme.css and will land once that gets r+
**** Need to take a look at how the other lwtheme properties are set and move those to CSS variables
**** Will next start working on support for other properties of new Themes that will be using CSS variables
*** Preferences
**** Students now have specs for search and reorg
**** Demo video of the two together is at https://youtu.be/QFZxR6gCGZc
**** Will start working with the students this week about getting the search patches ready to land
***** Filed bug 1340643 about some xul items not having a descendant textNode that includes the visible text, meaning that we won't be able to highlight the matching text there
**** The reorg patches will wait until the start of 55 to land, but we can start getting those ready too now. They need to go through the preferences and manually test links and buttons, then write tests to cover the links and buttons that were broken by the reorg.

*** Tour bar on new tab page
**** on hold because of the hanging
*** Finally managed to nail down an annoying regression caused by some docshell work by :ckerschb that broke some links, which we could fix by code removal which of course promptly caused completely unrelated tests to fail.

*** <select> work
**** wrote patches to fix a few follow-ups related to <select> styling (bug 1335483, bug 1336301)
**** met with QA to go over testing plan for search-in-select, and got feedback from ux on some designs
**** have a few bugs to get fixed / delegated
*** filed bug 1337160 about performance regressions related to webextensions, which got duped to a bug already on file, though there doesn't seem to be an easy way to track this work (multiple bugs, not all on file)
*** compared to an empty webextension, having icons applied still results in a 19% tresize opt regression on win7-32, a 12.51% tp5n nonmain_startup_fileio opt regression on win7-32, a 6.18% cart opt e10s regresson on win7-32, and a 5.4% tart opt regression on win7-32
*** we see some perf regressions when comparing PNG -> SVG icons

** Mike
*** Theming API
**** Worked on a version of the Engineering Plan that will be world-viewable
***** "With a little help from my friends"
**** Worked a bit on addon manager integration
***** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1330349
***** Blocked on politics
*** Findbar highlighter
**** Worked on a few small bugs
**** Will address high ranking findbar intermittent failure
**** Pinged :mstange for platform bug review
** Verdi - when we test automigration in beta can we do it by opening about:newtab instead of about:home on first run but don't change the home page setting?
*** Gijs: that would require code changes. Once we change code, of course we can do anything (OK, I mean, not *any*thing, but...).
**** Actually, clarification: we could potentially set the first run page to 'about:newtab', replacing whatever firstrun page we use, and use browser.startup.firstrunSkipsHomepage to avoid opening about:home . But then we don't show the normal first run page. I'm not sure we could show both (the normal firstrun page + about:newtab). Yes - this is what I mean. Show about:newtab and skip opening about:home. I think this should be ok for a beta test.
***** Still not sure now: would it be OK that we're no longer showing the normal first run page? I think that would be ok for the period of our test in beta. <== Peter?

*** Gijs (who won't be at the meeting): could you please add priorities to these, either whiteboard or actual priority field, to help us decide what to work on? It likely won't be possible to fix all of them in this cycle, and I would like to avoid disappointment by us working on the 'wrong' things. :-)
**** Will this work? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vsLukVaGEWy_0u4kuuLD8ZYEjnRzJMnwnOwZUltsFDQ/edit#gid=0  - I guess we can add this to the bugs - everyone hasn't agreed on this yet - just me taking a stab

**** One student is working on a Telemetry probe to track how users are getting to the Preferences
**** We now have data for which Preference categories are visited most. See https://mzl.la/2jQtHoU
***** Are we capturing the entry point into about:preferences to see where users are coming from?  (eg. if we add direct links to certain sections in places like our Privacy Policy, can we track engagement through those methods?)

*** Preferences refresh 2017
**** This will be a student/volunteer driven project
**** Met with Tina from UX while in Hawaii, she and her team have completed user research as well as user tested various designs and organizations
**** She has some specs for a reorg and some inconsistencies [see attachments of bug 1324168]
**** I have filed the first set of telemetry and inconsistency bugs blocking bug 1324168 [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1324168]
***** I have put up a patch for the first telemetry probes since we'll want to get those uplifted as high as possible to help verify the user tests once we change the organization: see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1324167
**** More will be filed once these get moving
**** Students working on the project so far: Jalen Adams [LeftySolara], and possibly the students who have been working on the select dropdown
***** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1324171
*** Select dropdown
**** Mike Conley just landed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1321376 which was the last blocker to removing the non-e10s implementation of the select popup
**** The other ongoing work is to enable webpages to style select dropdowns
***** This is mainly complete, but there is a bug about the :checked option having the wrong colors
***** I have been working on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1323618 to introduce a new argument to inIDOMUtils.addPseudoClassLock which will allow a pseudoclass lock to be set to "off" so we can disable :checked for sampling the colors
**** Fixed bug 1316404, so the e10s select dropdown will now use the correct font-family
*** Video controls
**** Met with Ray Lin while in Hawaii
**** We fixed numerous video controls bugs
***** I fixed bug 1319598 to prevent the time label from shifting around on OSX
***** I fixed bug 1323767 to clean up videocontrols.xml indentation, brace usage, and use ES6 method definitions
***** Ray fixed bug 1319301 about gray overlays being left on top of the video
***** Ray fixed bug 1319587 to reduce the shadow around the scrubber thumb

*** Working on allowing undo of automigration despite bookmarks/sync changes
**** Writing unit tests as I go along.
**** Fixing this is turning out to be 'fun' because of (e.g.) how last modified times propagate
***** So naively, I was hoping to have some wrappers to the bookmarks insertion being able to take care of determining last modified dates for the items. Then when you undo, you check that things haven't been modified and then you remove the items that haven't been modified. Unfortunately, if you add a bookmark to a folder, that propagates the last modified time of that bookmark to the folder. So straight after calling into a wrapper to insert a bookmark into a folder, now the folder's LM time will change, and my backup of that LM time no longer matches, meaning we'll keep the folder.

***** Basically, people who import from IE or Edge are usually importing from the most recent browser (ie IE or Edge is actually the most recent), split 85-90 / 15-10.
***** People who import from Chrome usually have it as *not* the most recent (65-35).
**** https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/1671/source and https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HBmGxKfAALje-hcRYypO3pEp2lqA3y_FvsfW5pPVfFI/edit#gid=1616169466
***** 38% of people don't import anything
***** For default browser X, percentage who actually imports from that browser:
****** IE: 71%
****** 360SE: 69% (very small sample size)
****** Chrome: 61% (another 5-6% imported from IE)
****** Safari: 41%
****** Edge: 23% (! - another 20-odd % imported from IE)
***** Potentially there are issues that we don't show the default browser (esp. Edge) if there is no data to import from, which could explain why so many Edge users choose to import from IE
***** Other concern: there's a lot of people whose default browser we fail to detect
****** Unsure of how to proceed. Could potentially use the executable name of the default browser as a telemetry key and get data that way. Not sure if that would pass privacy review.

** Gijs
*** Tracking bug for migration work for 51: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309613
**** Uplifts on previously-fixed bugs done, I think
**** Started work on additional telemetry
*** Regression from previous telemetry work on migration:
**** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1310596 - patched & landed today (thanks mikedeboer!), already asked for uplift as it will affect 50
**** To prevent this happening again, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1311043 (moar eslint - already found a bug)
***** still need to file a followup to nuke homepage imports + settings from orbit for everywhere we currently implement that per repeated previous discussion with dolske etc.

** Jared (on PTO Tuesday Oct 18, back on Wednesday)
*** URL Bar Zoom
**** Requested uplift for
***** Bug 1305195 - URL bar zoom button unreadable in devedition dark-mode private browsing windows
**** QA has tentatively signed off on the new feature, but there are three bugs that they would like fixed before it ships
***** I investigated https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1310758 and I think it might be due to a race condition from either using getBrowser (deprecated) or some timing issue of iframes taking longer to adjust their zoom
***** Gijs was investigating https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1297970 last week, not sure if he was able to make any more progress
****** I made 2 suggestions on how to fix, Katie messaged me on IRC saying she was looking into them.
***** The changes made in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1298449 are invisible in dark themes ("dark mode", which I assume means dark devedition)
**** Also, filed good-first-bug for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309260
*** <select> dropdown
**** Styling changes landed for Windows to make the <select> dropdown look better there with more padding and removed hover effects for disabled options
**** Patches are up on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309935 to allow filtering of options in <select> elements that have over 40 items
**** The non-e10s -> e10s porting of the select implementation is proceeding, but the students are stuck on a failing test. They have been in contact with Neil and Felipe.
** Patch up for review on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1232357 to delay hiding the sound indicator on tabs until audio has stopped for > 3 seconds.
**** This matches Chrome behavior and should make it easier to find the tab that *just* made noise but stopped right afterwards.
** Mike
*** Fixed very few findbar modal highlighting bugs this week

**** Still waiting on platform support

*** Bug 1306584 - Lightweight theme button icon and Restore Defaults button disabled state don't update when selecting a theme in customize mode
**** landed
*** Bug 1304708 - Use icon-colors.inc.svg in notification-icons.svg
**** uplifted
*** Bug 658467 - Fade out tab label on overflow instead of ellipsis
**** getting new perf numbers since bug 1305259 (support subpixel AA in CSS mask) landed
** Gijs
*** Automatic Migrations malarkey.
**** Still puzzled about bookmarks stuff
***** Have some avenues to explore but skeptical at this point that we'll get everything sorted out for b50. Need to file + fix what we know + get more data
**** Fixed some sync stuff and had it uplifted
**** Talked with rnewman about how to deal with sync + automatic migration
***** TL;DR: it's doable but it will take quite a bit of work.
**** Basic plan right now:
***** fix what we can about bookmarks-removing-undo-option telemetry
***** add telemetry for how often we show notification bar
***** add telemetry for how many items we import (so we can see if lots of the users who undo are basically not getting any value out of the import anyway)
***** add telemetry for custom homepage / automatic session restore so we have a better idea about how that impacts where we're showing the 'would you like to undo this' UI.
***** re-run experiment on 51
***** have a meeting (because of course we'll have a meeting!) to keep everybody in the loop and decide how best to move forward / trade off "ship now but imperfect" vs. "ship eventually when we're really really confident it's amazeballs"
*** Pulled into reviewing SHIELD add-on (my own fault, really, but it's a big chunk of code).
*** Also trying to help Evan Tseng with reader mode fix reviews / guidance
**** Slow going because reader mode is complicated. :(

*** Bug 1305195 - URL bar zoom button unreadable in devedition dark-mode private browsing windows

*** Dug out of review barrage (request queue depth was at 24), though it is coming back quickly.
**** Might be a good idea for mikedeboer to find a second reviewer for findbar changes to spread the workload as well as knowledge-share
***** Volunteers? Dão? Gijs?
****** Suuuuuuuure...
*** Bug 1307202 - The 'theme' API should be able to set the background of about:home
