RoundTable

  • Crash Automation Issues
    • Added in 1.9.1 stuff and got low crash densities, also low crash densities with 3.6 and 3.7. 2 crashes out of 46K URLs.
      • tried tweaking the user hook but still doesn't really make any measurable difference.
      • wonder how many users are still using old versions of flash? Can we get them off of it?
      • timeout per page is still pretty high - five minutes - have over 350 timeouts so that might be where some of this stuff is hiding. Maybe farm those out to the crash tiger team to invetigate a small subset of those.
    • Stack walker is making dumps with a normal exit -- bc will ask Ted about that.
    • tomcat will be using his new mac minis to help with bandwidth
  • Mozmill
    • System Dialog Access
      • jgriffin will look into trying out the new apis that mikeal wrote and we will decide if they will work or if we need to go the c++/xpcom route - bug 525060 for more info.
