Major Topics for This Week

  • Stability: With Firefox Mobile in Aurora, we need to be working toward a "release-quality" software. We landed a lot of functionality, but that code has more than a few bugs. We need to drive down the current bug list (486 bugs found).
  • Regressions: We need to take a more critical eye to our patches, reviews and testing. Regressions have recently made Firefox hard to dogfood for many people. We need to work quickly, but carefully, to get some of the recent regressions cleared.
  • Performance: The native re-write is about improved performance. We have seen some solid improvements over the XUL version in some areas, but not in others. We need to make sure we don't regression performance in areas like pageload and post-load rendering. See tbpl to compare native to XUL.
