Known issues

• Desktop
  • bug 1046645 [l10n] Test failure "There is a lock icon - 'url("chrome://browser/skin/identity-icons-https-mixed-display.png")' should contain 'identity-icons-https.png'" in testDVCertificate.js
    1. this is difficult to reproduce
    2. this shipped in 31 (impacts 31 ESR) and I'm not aware of any user reports of this issue
    3. this seems like it will impact a new profile more than an existing profile that has history
    4. the workaround is to refresh the page
    • Fix should be in 33
• Mobile
  • bug 1030897 Does not start on Android L preview
    • (aarontmt) Not correct. This has been fixed.
  • bug 1050832 MP4 videos will not play on Android L
    • Android L is still a preview so this doesn't block release at this time

Add-ons

• Not present.

Stability

• JS_TransplantObject crash bug 1053999 seems to be correlated with some toolbars and ask URLs, potentially triggered by some JS that either the toolbars or the ask sites use.
  • This means that it seems not to happens as much on pristine Firefox, which makes it easier to sign off despite this issue being out there.We even might be able to fight it with add-on blocklisting, if needed.

QA

• No known issues.

RelMan

• Given the feedback, we're good to go for Firefox Desktop 32 and Firefox for Android 32.

Schedule Update

• Desktop RC2 wasn't required
  • bug 1046645 [l10n] Test failure "There is a lock icon - 'url("chrome://browser/skin/identity-icons-https-mixed-display.png")' should contain 'identity-icons-https.png'" in testDVCertificate.js
    • Not severe enough to respin
  • bug 1058131 crash in mozilla::dom::Element::SetAttr(int, nsIAtom*, nsAString_internal const&, bool)
    • Issue with Avast that affected b9 but not RC.
    • No code change required on our side.
    • Jorge is following up.
• On point for Monday release activities
  • Releng: Nick (NZ time)
  • QA: Tracy
  • Relman: Lawrence

Add-ons

Stability

Nightly

• bug 1057868 (#2 topcrash) fixed today, will watch crash stats to verify
• bug 1044129 #3 topcrash, patch submitted and reviewed but not checked in.
• bug 1058567 is a spike on OOM|small crashes from Graphics that is being worked on and causes Nightly crash rates on desktop and mobile to be bad

Aurora

• Still need watching/investigation on OMTC crashes.

Beta

• bug 1058131 (SetAttr, Avast) - not present in RC1.
• No signs so far of AMD crash, but this is preliminary.
• bug 1053999 (JS_TransplantObject) seems to be toolbars/ask-related

Release

User Advocacy

• Something went wrong with Beta Snippet survey, didn't get enough responses to be relevant. We are going to figure out what happened before launch another survey in release.
• Input feedback doesn't show anything scary for 32.

Roundtable

• What's the plan for Mac signing changes on ESR?
  • (lmandel) Will continue to have Apple add ESR releases to white list for the remainder of the 31 cycle. I will confirm that this is acceptable by Apple.
