Focus Areas
Tracking Details
Planning to land between beta 6 and RC:
Still pursuing a fix for:
- bug 711564 - still considering mitigation (through a pref) for FF10 plugin crashes on 10.5, could help users through SUMO and/or an add-on hotfix if deemed necessary
- bug 694243 - frequent small hangs for some Firefox users
Of concern, but no further action at this time:
- bug 718389 - beta 4 startup crasher for Windows
To note for the release:
- bug 716945 - reported hang volume will be lower than normal in FF10, but should still be proportional
- bug 690287 – Tracking bug for UA sniffers
Add-ons
Current Status
- Add-ons Default to Compatible to ship with a lower bound of 4.0. Things look good so far.
