Firefox
- [DONE] Shift development to exploration/sprint based pattern
- identify scope, document development plan & cost, design proposals & user data required, test plans, security implications, and derive recommendation and proposal along with prototype code
- every month have at least one sprint completed with published recommendations
- in some cases we'll have code output, sometimes just designs
- [ON TRACK] Publish Firefox Product Roadmap
- first draft
- branch management plan
- technology development roadmap
- product delivery roadmap
- [DONE] Deliver Firefox
3.5.13.5.2 as a Major Update presented to existing Firefox users, transferring at least 50% of our existing user audience to Firefox 3.5.x- currently 43% overall, 46% of Firefox 3+3.5 users
- on target to hit 50% of actively updating users on Sept 14 (linear projection)
- on target to hit 50% of all Firefox users Sept 23 (linear projection)
- [MISSED] Improve Firefox performance as measured by new (TFx) and existing (Ts) benchmarks by 25% or more, especially with "dirty" profiles
- current measurements showing ~20% Ts improvement on OSX, flat on Windows
- dropped focus on TFx benchmark as Ts became all-consuming
- progress is ongoing and will continue beyond quarter
- strong development focus on Ts and responsiveness, not fully translating into desired effect due to code complexity and lack of senior coders
- [DONE] Create WinCE Firefox 3.5 product plan and deliver RC builds by end of August
- create and publish product plan (user experience, modifications if required, roadmap and plan for updates)
- fix all "nv" bugs for RC
- important for NVIDIA/subnotebook delivery
