Go Faster

Hello

  • 1.1.14 released to general release population. Initially throttled roll-out, now unthrottled.
    • https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2016/03/25/shipping-some-fireefox-features-outside-of-the-release-cycle/
  • Working on landing 1.2.x for 46: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1258865#c0
  • Making progress on e10s, still some issues we're trying to fix
    • Meta: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=1154273&hide_resolved=1
    • One bug fix just got backed out due to memory leaks & crashes. Possibly due to us switching to frame scripts and possible frame script lifecycle issues - but haven't debugged yet:
