Firefox 9

Today is a decision point for unthrottling. The next scheduled decision point is January 5th.

Known issues

• IT had some datacenter issues yesterday, updates had to be turned off temporarily
• Had to remove Fx9 from the Amazon market
  • Looks like they may have resigned our apk
  • Wasn't enabled for the Fire anyway (2 different approvals, sigh)

Throttling decision

• Keep it how it is?
• Turn on automatic updates?
• Start a 9.0.2 for known issues?

Add-ons

Aurora

• Do we need to do the compat bump on AMO now that we have compatible by default?
  • Probably a good idea

Beta

• bug 711275 Make sure appVersion changes with every Firefox 10 beta - will ensure that the add-ons default to compatible path will be hit on each beta update
  • Have we seen any issues? How would issues show up?
  • Is QA running automated tests with the top 500 add-ons (and top 50 "bundles"?)

Stability

• Need to get a fix for bug 711900
  • Worried that it is stumping some heavy hitters (bz, gavin, etc)

• Crash stats now shows Native UI crashes in their own product

Roundtable

Aurora

• Aurora is now Native UI / Firefox 11

Beta

• Beta 2 plan?
  • Sent the go yesterday, QA should have builds today
  • Waiting on QA to see if Friday release is possible
    • Fixes between beta 1 and beta 2 are minimal due to holidays
  • QA said they might not make Friday because they rely heavily on Romania and they will be off all week
    • New information says there may be resources available

Other

• We are going to have Blekko look for bad version sniffing (that may affect Firefox 10)
  • When is this happening?

Triage

• Christian updated the queries on Firefox/Channels
