Releases/Firefox 13/Final Signoffs

This page will track declaring the latest mozilla-beta build as the final in this cycle and starting the build off of the mozilla-release repository.

Please note that issues found in the final moments of the beta period may still require us to rebuild before release

Focus Areas

Stability

Current Status

• 13.0b6 still has very few ADUs so it will take a few days for the crash data to show anything significant
  • http://tinyurl.com/8yp3av8 signature has increased throughout the betas. Still relatively low volume but we should keep on eye on it.

Outstanding Issues/Concerns

• bug 752266 stands at #24 top crash in Beta 5 data, still not much to go on.

QA

Current Status - Desktop

Beta (test plan)

• Features, functionality, and stability seem to be okay; nothing stands out as a blocker
• 22 functional and 8 security fix verifications remain

ESR (test plan)

• Haven't looked at functionality/stability, been primarily focused on Beta and verifications (typically taken care of on candidates anyway)
• 7 functional and 16 security fix verifications remain

Outstanding Issues/Concerns - Desktop

• bug 756289 Netflix video errors "you are viewing from more than one tab"
  • NEW, still no luck tracking down STR or regression window
• bug 757262 Youtube keeps playing audio after closing
  • RESOLVED FIXED, but we don't have a reproducible case
  • Maybe we can get a try build for commenters to test?
• bug 759721 Firefox 13 Beta 6 causes Windows XP menus to hang
  • UNCONFIRMED, I'm investigating this now
• bug 759689 Flash content is not loaded using Flash 11.3 Beta
  • NEW, seems to happen on Win7 RTM only (Win7 SP1 unaffected)

Web Content

Current Status

• On track for 6/5
• Tracking bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749733
• Biggest concern is Implementing the new WN page (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752689) because of concern for localization of the page and SUMO links.
  • Worst case, only show the page in en-US and use the template for other locales.
• Blog Posts need sign-off from PM this week. Will be sending email shortly.

Outstanding Issues/Concerns

• Release notes
  • make sure we add/update system requirements to include the fact that we no longer support Win2K and Win XP (From what I can tell this was already done?)
