Major Topics for This Week

Monitoring Beta 1

Now that Fx14 Beta 1 is in the Market (\o/) we are monitoring feedback and crash-stats closely. Check out the reddit thread and the reviews from the Market as examples.

Add-ons

We have add-ons listed on AMO that are just not compatible with Firefox Mobile (Native). We are going through the list, installing and checking the code (where possible) to verify which ones actually work in Firefox Mobile (Native). We also need to touch base with several of the add-on developers to see about getting compatible updates for Firefox Mobile (Native).
