Action Items
Schedule & Progress on Upcoming Releases
Firefox 4 (Desktop)
- RC1 looks like it will be the final build, so far no showstoppers found
- several issues have been identified as potential ridealongs, meaning we might do a 4.0.1 release
- continuing to do triage daily
- assuming RC1 holds, the planned ship date is March 22nd at or around 7am PDT
- reminder to QA + press that unadvertized MU from 3.5->4.0 and 3.6->4.0 will be available on release day (i.e. users will be able to do Help -> Check for Updates to see an update to 4.0)
Firefox 4 (Mobile)
Firefox 3.6/3.5
Firefox 3.6.14 and 3.5.17
- 3.6.14/15 postmortem is Monday the 28th @ 2:00 pm PDT

Firefox 3.6.16 and 3.5.18

Firefox Sync
Add-on Builder 1.0a9
- maintenance release shipped last week, no issues so far
- freeze for the feature release for this cycle is Friday - ships next week
- will look to possibly coordinate this release with SDK 1.0b4
- search will be the focus for next cycle - one of the last major steps toward a beta release of the Builder
Add-on SDK 1.0b4
- freezes today
- some stuff in plan landed, some stuff in plan missed, some stuff not in plan landed (notable increase in contributions from outside core team this cycle!)
- ship date to be delayed a day or two so it isn't at the same time as Firefox 4
Input 3.4
FYI:
- Major release submission methods weren't intended to be shown on RC builds. We're looking into solutions, so beta submission methods should be shown on all beta/rc's after Fx4.
General:
- Input 3.3 released out on Sunday night
- Next stop is Input 3.4 with a release date of 3/31
- It'll include grouperfish clustering and an updated dashboard for mobile users
Feedback Summary
- Changes to input have changed our ability to see into issues/concerns.
- Twitter and Facebook have had very few visible complaints with RC1, with most issues related to add-on compatibility.
- From http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/release/themes the major themes are:
- Crashes more than previous beta, wiping previous sessions (http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/release/themes/973443)
- Move home button back to left side (http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/release/themes/973427)
- Add-On Compatibility issues--various add-ons.
- Flash issues with fb chat, youtube
- Problems with fonts
- Memory leaks!
- From http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/release/themes the major themes are:
- 3.6.15: A lot of complaints around youtube and recent Flash versions: [1] & [2]
Highlights / Notices
- There's a good possibility that we'll continue to see issues with sites that have Firefox 3.6 and lower-specific code with Firefox 4. If there are problems detected that may be related to version-specific code, UA detection and/or the html5 parser (like the Hotmail reload issue, Amazon deals, etc.), please make sure you let Kev Needham (kev at mozilla dot com) know so he can help track down contacts and make them aware where needed.
