Kilimanjaro

  • Product team working on solidifying requirements for "base camp".
  • Still working toward larger Kilimanjaro goal.
  • Triage today at 11:30am. Conflicts with the daily mobile triage. Trying to find another time that would enable mobile folks to attend.

Notices / Schedule

  • Fennec Native 14 beta 1 is now live on Google Play!
    • Bugs filed by following the link on the product page will have [Play] in the whiteboard
    • With Fennec Native on Google Play, we'll be including betaN+ blocking bugs during channel meetings, but we'll continue triaging nominations and release blockers as part of mobile triage
    • Fennec Native betas will have a weekly cadence after this week as with desktop, going to build no later than Wednesday for a Friday push
    • We expect our next beta of Fennec Native to be multi-locale with the same 13 localizations as XUL Fennec previously
  • We're now here in the schedule
  • FF13 beta 4 will go-to-build today (5/15). Please land any approved beta patches ASAP, and continue working on tracked bugs
    • We should be looking for the lowest risk mitigating fix for remaining tracked bugs

Firefox Development

  • The work by a group of MSU students to get Firefox preferences "in-content" has mostly landed on trunk. Check out Jared's blog post for more info. There's some followup polish/theming work still remaining before we make the switch and remove the old preferences dialog.
  • FX-Team work week wrap up - read it, there's good stuff in there!

Firefox Developer Tools

  • Developer Toolbar relanded. Preffed off, turn on devtools.toolbar.enabled to try it out.
  • Async web console starting to land, 2 of 5 patches landed.
  • Responsive Design Mode should be landing this week.

Add-on SDK

Performance

  • Perf+metrics work week this week in MV/SF
  • This week's Snappy summary
  • Lawrence posted on hacks about Firefox 13 Snappy work.
  • Tim landed a fix to avoid setTimeout()s when handling tab clicks in bug 743877, which should significantly improve tab strip responsiveness.
  • Incremental GC making progress towards being turned on by default again (bug 750959, bug 752098).
  • Wladimir Palant (Adblock Plus fame) wrote a new Suspend background tabs add-on to halt activity in background tabs. This experimental add-on should give a sense of how we can improve lag due to background tabs.

GFX

  • Azure-Thebes will (hopefully) be turned on by default this week.
    • This applies only to hardware accelerated computers on Windows Vista and 7.
    • The net of this is that we're going to be drawing fundamentally differently, and we can expect regressions in performance and drawing.
    • It has a very simple pref for backing out, luckily.

JS

Layout

Video

DOM

WebAPI

  • Lots of work happening on security model, but still a lot of work remaining.
  • We will probably adjust the open-web-apps API to allow multiple apps per origin since the security model will support that. Might not implement the actual support in the initial release though.
  • The Open Web Apps API has been submitted to W3C and we've started receiving input.
  • Initial APIs for "system intents", camera control and Alarm API being discussed on webapi mailing list.
  • Started implementing backend for doing apps-specific permissions.

Network

Identity

Firefox front-end team met with Ben Adida & Co. last week for an Identity swarm, made good progress on understanding how things work, and getting some initial code up and going to start flushing out issues (for both sign-into-browser and native sign-into-websites)

Plugins

Mobile

Accessibility

  • No audible this week.

Tree Management

  • Switching windows 32-bit PGO builds to run on 64-bit machines this week bug 753132
  • Hoping to have signed OSX builds (for 10.8) on mozilla-central late this week or early next week bug 752613

Stability Report

Socorro

Desktop

Firefox 15

  • Trunk is pretty crashy - top issues over the past 3 days...
  • #1 - bug 654903- js::gc::PushMarkStack. Not a new signature but appearing in #1 spot.
    • This and a couple other JS spikes seem to be related to incremental GC landed for the May 13 build and then backed out again.
  • #2 - bug 752309 - xpc::WrapperFactory::PrepareForWrapping.
  • #3 - bug 736695 - nsGenericElement::UnbindFromTree
  • #5 - bug 732897 - Makeday
  • #6 - bug 671468 - nsSocketOutputStream::Write(char const*, unsigned int, unsigned int*) (Correlation to Спутник @Mail.Ru and Yandex.Bar)
  • On dev-platform, bsmedberg mentiones that today he landed XPCOM string classes being infallible by default and alert him of any aborts seen as fallout from that.

Firefox 14

  • Crashes tracking Fx14
  • A couple of problems with AMD graphics cards bug 714320 and bug 700288 that we haven't been able to fix.
  • bug 736695 - nsGenericElement::UnbindFromTree , when I open Customize Toolbar with Video DownloadHelper 4.9.8 installed. A problem for a while.

Firefox 12 & 13

  • top crashes that we wish we could do something about
  • bug 572011 - Crash @ nsDiskCacheStreamIO::FlushBufferToFile
  • bug 597260 - nsFileOutputStream::Write(char const*, unsigned int, unsigned int*)
  • top Flash hang: bug 726425 - a number of those reports don't even have Flash in the stack, possibly our own code at fault?
  • bug 640904 - Crash in JSAutoEnterCompartment::enter - waiting on AMO review for fixed add-on

Mobile

  • Beta out today...yay!. Crash rate down on both trunk and aurora < 20 crashes per 100 ADU.
