Releases/Firefox 12/Final Signoffs

From MozillaWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

This page will track declaring the latest mozilla-beta build as the final in this cycle and starting the build off of the mozilla-release repository.

Please note that issues found in the final moments of the beta period may still require us to rebuild before release

Focus Areas

Tracking Details

  • bug 734019 – The big picture hangs , and finally Browser crashes with null signature
    • Due to fallout in bug 745453, the big picture hangs will be left unfixed in FF12
  • bug 738640 – [10.7] crash in -[BaseWindow dealloc], caused by bug in RoboForm extension
    • RoboForm has rolled out a fix, Jorge is on point for blocking the affected versions if the crash numbers don't drop enough
  • bug 741179 – crash in nsDiskCacheBlockFile::Write
    • After many attempts to repro in QA, we do not have any leads. It's a top crasher in FF11 as well, so we're confident this is a third party issue. We'll continue to track this bug post-release.
  • bug 725503 – crash in radhslib.dll from Naomi Internet Filter
    • We expect this to be a new top crasher once FF12 is released. We're unable to blocklist the DLL (it uses injection), the 3rd party SW is no longer maintained, and the crash does not appear to be related to a regression in Firefox.

Add-ons

Current Status

  • Good to go.

Outstanding Issues/Concerns

  • bug 745453 and related - causing binary compatibility for developers.

Stability

Current Status

Outstanding Issues/Concerns

  • No big blocker but many top crashes added for FF12 that we didn't get resolved.
  • New 3rd party and networking issues - tough issues to solve, outside of our control.
