Products/Projects

Stability Report [Weekly]

Mobile

QA investigation help needed... Can any dev can give some ideas?:

• bug 780831 (JB crash in dvm) is still the #1 issue on beta and rising on release, we need STR.
• bug 782223 (JB crash in tegra libs, mostly Nexus 7) is high on beta as well, also needs STR.

• 17.0 Release top crashes
• 18.0b1 Beta top crashes
• Aurora top crashes
• Nightly top crashes

B2G

• bug 817946 - We seem to corrupt memory somewhere, which leads to pretty useless stacks in crash reports
  • any leads on this would be great
• bug 814078 - Submitting all pending crashes - just landed on trunk, waiting for getting onto beta
• nhirata and marcia working on end to end crash reporting - they will have info by 12/14.

Snappy [Weekly]

• Dec 6 Snappy status

Start-up & Shutdown

• BenWa blogged about Analyzing Shutdown Performance

Tab Strip

• Vlad measured significantly reduced FPS rates during Australis tab animations that is particularly noticeable on weak hardware. Details in bug 738491#c76. More investigation and recommendations for the implementers coming.

Content

• Paulo removed downloads from the main thread (bug 789932)
• Aaron is continuing to make progress on the plug-in hang UI. Patches now up bug 805591: r+ from bbondy, sent to bsmedberg to review plugin facing parts of the patch and to shorlander for ui-review.
• Ben Smedberg and Aaron Klotz are looking at detaching the input queue of the main Firefox thread from the plugin-container main thread (Win32). This would address a type of plug-in hang that falls outside the scope of our plug-in hang detection code. (bug 818059)
• Progress on moving local storage off the main thread (bug 807021, bug 600307)
