Topics for This Week

Chromecast App
Used for Tab Mirroring. We moved this to a Mozilla CDN location and registered the app under the Mozilla CastApp account. May need to uplift the App ID patch.
Crashes
A lot of crashes have been getting filed. Some seem fairly straight forward. Keep an eye on incoming bugs and also frequent Crash-Stats.
Easier Remote Debugging
You can skip port-forwarding and launch using the WebIDE in Firefox for Desktop. Read this post.
