Action items
Feature Status Review
- Firefox 94 Beta
- 1 challenged feature remains. MR2 Immersive monochromatic themes can be enabled was expected to move to on track this week but some last minute scope additon around Win7 received a RED QA signoff. The team is attempting to bring Win7 back to GREEN but supporting that platform is optional and not a blocker for the rest of this work shipping in Fx94.
- 🎣 Fission Staged Rollout (0–100%) has been moved to ON TRACK (Last week this was challenged). Only 6 MVP bugs remain (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Fission/Bugs/Backlog#MVP_Hard_Blockers). Two of those are expected to uplift but the remaining bugs are not blockers.
- Firefox 95 Nightly
- Tracking of the Release and Features has been moved to Mana! https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=150542965
- 1 Feature is considered CHALLENGED. Simplify the process to open an external application from Firefox is blocked as engineering is focusing on removing the download modal.
