Action items

Feature Status Review

• Firefox 94 Beta - Challenged
  • Fission Staged Rollout (0–100%) considered challenged by the team as there are still 9 MVP bugs to be completed. The will uplift these as they are fixed but none are considered hard blockers.
  • Immersive monochromatic themes can be enabled is now challenged (was at risk) as there are still a handful of QA identified bugs. The team feels confident they can resolve these issues and will uplift into beta. Product decisions that had this at risk have been made.
• Firefox 95 Nightly
  • Working to build out feature list
  • We are moving our Feature tracking from Trello to Jira!
    • You can view all feature reported as targeting Firefox 95 nightly by building a filter search on the 'fix version' field and querying that for Fx94, Fx95, and so on.
