Topics for This Week

Minifying JS
Nick landed code to minify the JavaScript in Firefox. This should only "kick in" for Aurora and higher. It's disabled on Nightly, and is also disabled in DEBUG builds.
Password Improvements
We had a kick-off meeting yesterday with people from UX, Desktop, Security and Cloud Services. Working on an action list for short-term work. Set up a mailing list.
Blurry Content
Several bugs filed on a burry content regression today.
Enabling New Tablet UI
Code landed, but was backed out after causing a "checkerboarding" regression.

QA

Garvan

<Read Only>

  • meeting conflict, present in spirit only
  • Landing a basic robocop test for enable/disable the stumbling service
  • Need to get an about:config pref in for logging ASAP for QA to see the stumbler is actual doing something
  • From Stumbler play store release, discovered 2 NPEs need porting to Fennec, on some bizarro hardware, when listening to the WifiManager for scans, it reports "have scan" with a null list of scans. Another crash is from asking for the Telephony service and not null checking the result.

Feature Focus

  • Mobile Roadmap
  • This was a funnel review week, but didn't result in any significant changes to releases in motion. Only addition to 36 was Sync Migration. All other updates centered on funnel priority buckets.
  • We are trying out a new tool/format for tracking roadmap/funnel, and used it in both funnel review and product planning this week. If you haven't seen it yet, have a look and provide any feedback. It's Here
  • Some of the reporting for the 'cross-team coordination' type meetings are changing. Ex: The platform eng meetings are now focused on things you are doing that could impact other teams, or things you're dependent on another team for. I'm taking that content from our feature status review in the Product Planning meeting, but if you have something you'd like surfaced at that meeting, please ping me with it before 1:30PM EST on Tuesdays!
