Highlights / Notices

  • User feedback summary: Similar to last week, with the exception of the last point.
Issue SUMO Input Buglink
Youtube & Video rendering ~20 users 144 bug 579597 and related.
Font rendering ~20 226 bug 588880
Middle button click-to-scroll rendering glitch 0 31 bug 588403
Zynga Toolbar not compatible 10 89 Not a bug.
Error at Start-Up (related to Ask Toolbar?? or just extensions) ~160 Hard to know--affects more than just beta users 85 [1]
  • Because we haven't had a 3.6 support feedback update in a while, top issues (more details? read the support report):
    • Sync breakage
    • 3.6 + Flash related things (due to major update)
    • Link strikethroughs in webmail (investigating)
    • Language change/loss in major update?

Questions and Concerns

  • 2.0 branch predictions and l10n? Proposal: kill the branch plan we had, l10n-drivers do the branch work twice, once towards l10n-central now, and then towards 2.0 once we get there? (Axel)
    • let's do that
    • Beta 7 is string freeze, independent of branch
    • string freeze on mozilla-central may stay post-branch to reduce the impact of localizers not switching to the 2.0 branch in time
