Nightly

[Andrei]

• Nightly 56 signed off (YELLOW, round 2/3) - test report: https://goo.gl/sgQY1n, reason: https://bugzil.la/1363378.
• WebRTC signed off (RED) - test report: https://goo.gl/ei3wrT.

Aurora / Dev Edition

• [Andrei] DevEdition (55.0b8) signed off (GREEN) - test report: https://goo.gl/Bs4n7f.

Beta

• [Andrei] Preliminary reports showing the status of Firefox 55 features before the pre-Release sign off, are currently being sent out.
  • [Petruta] https://trello.com/c/Y3orksju/162-one-off-searches One-off searches from awesome bar still has a large number of open dependencies (16) and was Yellow at previous sign-off due to this.
  • [Cristian] webVR is considered at risk because we won't be able to perform an in-depth testing (feature and devices were received late) and the test plan is still pending review.
  • [Julia] Firefox Screenshots preliminary status for 55 beta will most likely be considered as red, due to some seriously functional issues:
