3.6 EOL
- (completed) 3/23: 3.6 EOL and Win2K/XP SP1 desupport officially announced
- Between 3/19 and 4/24 (once FF11 is unthrottled)
- (completed) MU prompts for 3.6.28 to FF11
- MU prompts for 3.6.27 and lower to FF11 with strong security messaging, depending on the effectiveness of bug 730095 – Please prepare 3.6.13->10.0.2 MU snippets previously (any updates here Marketing?)
- 4/24: Firefox 12 released, 3.6 EOL'd
- Around 5/1 (once FF12 is unthrottled). We can only do one of these at a time:
- Offer unprompted updates from 3.6 (all versions or .28?) to FF12, possibly with a custom WN page
- Offer prompted major updates from 3.6 to FF12
- Around 6/12 (once FF13 is unthrottled). Again, we can only do one of these at a time:
- Offer prompted major updates from 3.6 to FF12 with EOL messaging
- Offer unprompted updates from 3.6 to FF12 with the add-on compatibility check disabled (still unclear if this moves users)
Add-ons
Stability
Aurora
- bug 733793 - Top crash in Aurora - what can we do to move it along?
Beta
- bug 725503 – crash in radhslib.dll from Naomi Internet Filter
- We're able to reproduce crashes and misbehavior, just not the original signature in the bug
- Because the DLL is being injected into our process, we're unable to blocklist it
- Attempts at finding the bump in crashes in nightly didn't yield much
- Ideas for reproducing? Or could we take forward change for this? bsmedberg has noted that taking any blocklist changes for FF12 would not be advised.

Marketing/Communications
Roundtable
- Possible Firefox 11 chemspill driver: bug 737784 – WYWSIWYG editor in mambo ceases to visualise following update to Firefox11.
- We've seen bug reports, support requests, and input feedback
- From looking at support forums, it appears that TinyMCE versions <3.4.3 (released June 2011) are affected
- Most reports are from CMS admins (small number of users)
- Affects recent releases of Prestashop, Drupal, Moodle, concrete5, plone, modx, Mambo, Cascade Server CMS
- Workaround include: using another version of Firefox or browser, updating the TinyMCE version, or changing the way the TinyMCE editors are loaded
- Possible ride-alongs if we were to chemspill: bug 725152 – Stereoscopic 3D videos not properly detected and security bugs(?)
Firefox 12 will be a normal release in that we'll be offering a normal update for 3.6.x users. We won't be taking any alternate update path (automatic or with disabled add-on check) until we've successfully deployed a normal Firefox 12 release. (- Asa)
