Add-ons

Stability

Nightly

• D3D11 error crash bug 1089364 is #1 by far.

Aurora

• bug 1091903 (mozilla::gfx::SourceSurfaceD2D1::SourceSurfaceD2D1) seems to be fixed on trunk but not on Aurora, #2 topcrash

Beta

• Still looking good!

Release

• DisplayLink bug 1021265 continues to be a concern because it's startup and probably makes people leave us.
• bug 1064107 is the largest startup crash at 1.1% and is largely fixed in 34 by the patch in the bug.

Mobile

• bug 895775 should be fixed on b6.
• bug 1049138 (gfx) will be the remaining concern on 34 beta.

Verification Needed

Nightly

Aurora

• DevEdition test challenge has just been sent out.

Beta

Mobile

RelEng

• What are our options with 33.1 b2 on mac vs 33.1 b3?
  • Two options
    1. Ship with the risk of build3 not being included in the whitelist
    2. Ship build2 for OSX only and add some amount of risk to updates now and in the future
  • releng will discuss options during their Tue 4pm ET weekly meeting

User Advocacy

• We're tracking a lot of things now that OMTC is winding down:
  • Browser is flickering
  • crypto.Signtext() -- what can we do to help here?
    • Feedback from Input and SUMO https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tu_CtGMAc3SqJpLWbuzhKwUJ9Y5aW6RnVMcLLhrkoXo/edit#gid=1680549476
  • can we help with any of the startup crash issues?
  • freezing: possibly bug 1089183 (we don't know yet what is causing that) or bug 1064864 (will be fixed in 33.0.3)
  • maybe losing maximize/minimize/close buttons
  • we might be seeing the jiggle-mouse to have network work problem again:
    • bug 933733
    • Side effect of OMTC fix
    • Very little info on our side, to follow up
• And the OpenStandard posts about Gamergate are stirring up some political feedback
• We're gearing up for Dev edition feedback

Roundtable

• Firefox 33 post-mortem moved to Thu: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/33-0-Post-Mortem
