Channel Status

Release (Fx 37)(Desktop - KaiRo Mobile - Aaron/Ioana)

• Mobile: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Fennec/37
• YouTube HTML5 enabled again for at least a small percentage of users, for gathering data

Beta (Fx38) (Desktop - KaiRo Mobile - Ioana/Kevin)

• stability and general quality seem to come to a state shippable on release.
• beta 9 going to build today, RC probably gtb on Sunday

Aurora (Fx 39) (Desktop - KaiRo Mobile - Ioana/Kevin)

• given how bad the plugin crashes and hangs still look, we probably need to defer async plugin init to 40.

Nightly (Fx 40) (Desktop - KaiRo Mobile - Ioana/Kevin)

• still needs some way to go, but stability at best level since e10s was introduced

ESR (Fx 31.6.0)

Security

Automation (whimboo)
