Browser / Front End

johnath at BlackHat this week, frontend Q3 Goals updated with team status.

Firefox Development

(from our goals):


  • [ON TRACK] Feature complete Firefox 4
    • [DONE] Switch to Tab
    • [DONE] App Tabs - Scope for 4.0 reduced (non-global), near feature complete.
    • [DONE] Extension Manager - Bug list is converging, still a lot of work to do.
    • [DONE] Web Console
    • [ON TRACK] Notification UI - Geo and EM notifications done, http auth next.
    • [ON TRACK] New Theme - Windows and Mac good, Linux catching up now
    • [DONE] TabCandy Panorama
    • [AT RISK] Silent updates on Windows
    • [DROPPED] Inspector
    • [DROPPED] Account Manager - WIP patches posted, but we can't contain the review load and code risk.
  • [AT RISK] Dirty profile startup within 20% of clean profile startup (modulo extensions, plugins; on windows)
    • Current status: Lots of data has been collected and analyzed, but no solid conclusions have shaken out.
    • Details page
    • Shawn has an updated blog post. Read it for more info.
    • Bugs on file that help:
      • Excessive cookie i/o bug bug 572223 (fixed)
      • Session Restore negatively impacts startup time based on the number of tabs loaded bug 582005
      • Suboptimal SQLite page size bug 416330 (fixed)
      • Provide a global VACUUM component bug 541373


Platform

  • GFX Goals Update:
    • D2D
      • Down to 33 reftest failures bug 578110
      • We're having some problems with the way gradients are implemented in D2D bug 582236 and not sure how to solve them at this point. We'll need to figure out how bad this is and what we can do about it
  • JS Goals Update:
    • JaegerMonkey plan is on target
    • VM perf wins (strings, arrays) being checked in
    • ES5
      • Landings
        • Added U+FEFF to whitespace in bug 581067 (discovered while writing another test)
        • /a/.lastIndex is now a nearly plain-vanilla property, settable to any value (coerced to number for internal use), bug 465199
        • Killed special handling (except for a new warning) of eval called with two arguments in bug 531675
        • Function.prototype.apply no longer requires arguments to be an array or an arguments value -- any array-like object is valid now, bug 562448 (includes recent spec erratum spawned by work on this)
      • In progress
        • Updating parseInt to reject octal input in strict mode (ES5 rejects everywhere, we're concerned about compatibility) in bug 577536; also significantly reorganized/cleaned up decade-old integer parsing code, much more understandable now with fewer mandatory special-case behaviors to internalize
        • Requiring object-literal getters/setters to have 0/1 arguments, bug 536472, plus some prerequisite cleanups
        • Yak-shaving to be able to make JSON.parse reject trailing commas
  • Content Goals Update:
    • Got a couple of boosts on Dromaeo last week! graph (peterv and smaug)
  • Layout Goals Update:

For reference:

Roundtable

  • Hands-up for what's going into Beta 3 (beltzner)
    • new JS values - could affect add-ons that use JSAPI
    • OSX uses UNIX filesystem code instead of OSX filesystem code
    • Sync UI built in (needs review)
    • SQLite 3.7.0
  • Quick overview of new tree rules (beltzner)
    • patches on blocking (mozilla2.0, fennec2.0) bugs are always approved
    • NPOTB and tests are always approved
    • bustage fixes and backouts are always approved
    • question: bugs that block blockers - explicit approval/blocking status?
      • no explicit approvals/flags needed until we see abuse
    • question: meta bugs allowed to block?
      • still no, for now
