Features
Lessen the showing of the what's new page
Owner: Lawrence
Removal of OS security dialog for Windows
Owner: Brian
- Security review went well, new ideas for test cases, open issues like how do we handle crash reports
- don't know how to store certificates to do updates - registry or settings file being acceptible
- review notes linked in feature page
- needs to land on nightly, blocked - need to wait for driver signing before we can land it, can land code but can't turn it on beforehand
- lawrence to follow up with chriss atlee
- This change won't be visible by end users until release +1 as the service needs to be installed
Add-ons Default to Compatible
Owner: Chris
Apply update on shutdown
Owner: Ehsan
- Two options being considered, asked bsmedberg and a couple of other people for feedback
- more than likely this will make 11
- shouod hhave a better idea of when this can be done by next week
- think should improve the linux and mac experience quite a bit
New workflow for updating users with incompatible add-ons
Owner: Rob to work with Asa.
- need meeting with ux to ensure that the experience is acceptible
- should we ignore the fact that they have incompatible add-ons?
- some ui would need to be included to allow users to override our override
Lessen the display of app update UI
Owner: Rob
- 12-24 hours, per session as when you exit your session you apply the update
- if there's a newer udpate cancel the older update and download the newer one, this affects nightly and aurora, less important for release as the updates are every 6 week
Getting the word out
- Mozilla blog mirrored Brian's post
- Press coverage from Brian's article
Other
have the ability to inform users via the know hour rights popup if we need to. curtis had a concern in being too silent.
