Stability

Nightly

• The prompt for turning on e10s has caused a number of issues to rise in stats, bugs on the largest ones are filed.

Aurora

• Topcrash in Aurora, startup crash, also showing up (at slightly lower volume) in Beta and Nightly bug 1064107 (Maybe OMTC related?)

Beta

• Crash rates are still high (~1.6 when we shipped 32 with beta being at ~1.2)
  • Mostly GFX issues, we'll see what fixes in b4 help.
  • At which point do we need to make a call on disabling OMTC and/or D3D11?
    • Sylvestre will get in touch with the OMTC leaders (Tracy, GFX owner + relman) if/when we want to disable it in beta

Release

• The fixes in 32.0.1 worked. bug 1063048 (and bug 1062452) is fixed.
• bug 1063052 is still in discussion, see the bug and release-drivers.

Mobile

• Will be watching b4 to see if topcrash #2 bug 1041744 is resolved

• Next Tree Closing Window is Saturday, September 20, is the Tree Closing Window.
  • See bug 1065514 for details. hg.mozilla.org will be offline for a period of time, so trees will be closed. This is likely to be from 0900-1300PT, but time will be confirmed on Wednesday. Look for the notice with final times later this week.

User Advocacy

UA team is in a workweek so text-only update today. Ping Tyler or Cww if you have questions.

• Desktop:
  • Nightly: lots of complaints about e10s: seems to constantly prompt, is a top crasher, slower and doesn't support add-ons.
  • Beta (and possibly release). Some complaints that Amazon hangs/unresponsive script. May be related to roll out of a new website design (old design is the one choking so it may go away as new design rolls out).
    • Maybe related bug 1062406?

Roundtable

• (kevin) Trying to find an owner for bug 1067174, which looks pretty bad.
