QA
QA
- bug 787743 - Private Browsing mode not working in Firefox 15.0
- Try-server builds appear to have "fixed" the regression
RelEng
- bug 787373 – Aurora download page needs updating to point to Fx17
- bug 787863 and bug 770996 problems with partial updates and partner repacks?
- problems "only" for mac-osx users, who are getting partial updates. Complete updates work fine. Win/linux partial+complete updates work fine.
Marketing/Communications
- Working on copy for 10.5 EOL
- Chem Spill? Put comms in place. Estimate this has effected no more than ~1M users.
Support
Desktop:
- Stability issues - Lots of reports of exit crashing [1][2](Possibly Flash 11.4 related). Lots of general crashiness and perf issues [3][4] could be related to Catalyst update. Startup crashing is up as well [5][6]
- Catalyst 12.8 update is causing crashing when HW acceleration is enabled. Seems to be crossfire related. [7][8]
- Babylon update is causing major issues. It seems to now be even harder to remove with up to 4 different programs in the add/remove dialog. [9]
- Increased amount of empty crash logs - Here are a few threads[10][11][12][13]
- We still need to learn if Flash 10.3 is a secure downgrade path.
- Norton issues on Mac are still hurting us.
Mobile:
- Text Input is #2 issue on Google Play Reviews. I (Tyler) ran into it this weekend, horribly annoying. Bug 781471 (Seems to be caused by SwiftKey3?)
