Stability Update
- Looks good so far
- Look to be elevated "oopsies" / plugin crashes on 6/7/8 (look to be one signature from Flash, bug 618683)
- We are digging into this more, help would be appreciated
- Startup crash due to malware: bug 670542
- Mobile doesn't really have an aurora audience, can't make assessment
- Weren't getting symbols for mobile
Mobile
- We don't intend to put mobile Aurora in the Android market
Add-on Compatibility
- We need to do the bump
- Gated on bug 672063, which was just approved
- See this post for the API changes and details on what we're rolling back to increase compatibility
- How can we track this better? Is this spreadsheet updated or should it be expanded to show all versions?
l10n Font issues
- Appear to be multiple font issues that affect Firefox 6 and 7
- bug 674335, Arabic: 100% reproducible on sites like BBC
- bug 672955, Thai (OSX only)
Billboard offer to grow the aurora audience
- Decided we'll do a full update offer rather than just a channel change
- More work but better UX for users
Action items from last time
- Grace and Asa will talk to user research to see what users on each channel expect wrt update frequency
- 2 ways, user survey and user testing
- survey will take less time, user testing will take at least a month to set up
- mfinkle will drive investigation why mobile was green even with the startup crash
- It was an interaction with neon, which isn't used on the tegras we use for testing
- RelEng already has open bugs to diversify
-
Christian will decide on the way forward for the Phase #1 Aurora update[done]
Action Items
- Christian will coordinate with RelEng for the Phase #1 update offer
