Risks with this Beta and ways to mitigate them through testing

Please list any risks related to the quality of this release.

• 1. MSE for YouTube - risky area (significant number of bug fixes)
  • Feature was also in Firefox 36 for part of the Beta cycle
  • Testing to ensure this is ready for shipping and users won't be affected by critical bugs
  • MSE will be enabled on Mac OS X on Beta 37 - if testing results with Beta 1 are showing serious issues, MSE should be disabled for Mac OSX
  • Will be covered by exploratory testing on YouTube
• 2. Flash protected mode disabling feature in 37 beta (was also disabled in 36 beta)
  • Testing the feature to verify and validate that disabling the feature does not cause regressions
  • Will be covered by exploratory testing on websites with Flash content

  • Testing the feature to verify that Bing search now works through HTTPS, and search suggestions show up correctly
  • Will be covered by exploratory testing
• 4. In-content Preferences feature (may be disabled mid-beta)
  • Feature was also in Firefox 36 for the first half of the Beta cycle
  • Testing the feature to verify that In-content Preferences show up without major issues
  • Will be covered by basic sanity testing (general UI and basic functionality)
• 5. Disable Dev edition features in 37 beta 1 build
  • Testing will verify and validate that NO DevEdition features are carried from Aurora
  • Will be covered by basic sanity testing
• 6. EME (disabled and hidden in Firefox 37)
