tracking-firefox13+
- bug 756289 Netflix video errors "you are viewing from more than one tab" (marcia)
- bug 755974 Block AMD Radeon HD 6290/6300/6310/6320 for Direct3D 9 (marcia)

- Tested with no success (multiple PDFs with AR 10.1.3 and 9.5.0)
- bug 719117 Crash @ mozalloc_abort | NS_DebugBreak_P | nsIFrame::GetOffsetToCrossDoc
- Waiting on needURLs to be actioned before testing
ESR Verifications
- ESR10 query: tracking-mozilla-esr10 = 13+, status-esr10 = fixed (not verified)
- QA does not have free cycles to verify until we have candidate builds, as per normal. Our primary focus is QAWANTED and verifications on Beta. However, some of these can probably be cross-verified during Firefox 13 verifications.
RelEng
- osx signing for 10.8: nightly signing should be happening today/tomorrow
- please schedule rollout of "rapid/daily betas" to happen at separately from "silent updates"? If we rollout both at same time, it will complicate debugging any problems. And problems with updates always concern us.
- instead of "daily betas" can we have a different term that doesnt conflate with "nightly" builds
- note: these new betas would only happen everytime a change happens on beta - not every day.

Marketing/Communications
Support
- Update on beta issues:
- Youtube and Netflix (and possibly others): sound continues to play after the tab is closed.
- Possibly an issue with uploading files: bug 757284 [1]
- Feature feedback:
- most of the feedback from the new tab behavior has been positive. Complaints are mostly around the precise behavior of how things show up there or wanting to rearrange/edit the boxes.
- New home page reactions are pretty mixed, people say that they're having trouble setting/changing away from it and some people wanted a google bar back. Some users want the newtab page to be part of the home page.
Roundtable
- Let's update and review current health/status of daily beta builds
- bug 757184 – MU Channel Switch from 14.0 to 15.0beta
- Population Size vs Representative Population, and the affect on discoverability vs urgency/prioritization
- First release candidate build of mainline/ESR in support of QA - moving this to 5/31 for FF13?
- QA is asking for 1 extra day due to June 4th Romanian holiday
- Considering moving the Tuesday meeting time to accommodate non-PT. See this survey.
- Background updates landed today. bug 307181. This is the last major piece of silent updates and a prereq for frequent/nightly/rapid betas.
