Major Topics for This Week

Dynamic Toolbar

Chris Lord has been keeping up with regressions from the new toolbar behavior. Once bug 852565 lands, the toolbar should be pretty solid. Nice work!

HTML5 Support

Over the last week two HTML5 features landed: HTML5 <input type=”range”> and Web Notifications. We got a bump on html5test.com for the range control, but the notifications are blocked on bad testing code. David Baron has a pull request to fix html5test.

Scott (jwir3)

Last Week:

  • Profiling performance issues with reflow-on-zoom to determine what might be causing lag when zooming in, then zooming back out. I think I’ve found a partial solution to the problem, and it makes reflow on zoom significantly more performant, but there is still some lag.
  • Found solution for bug 836568.
  • Found solution for bug 800805.

This Week:

  • Continue pushing forward with bug 836565, hopefully finding a more significant change that will speed up reflow in the case of reflow-on-zoom.
  • Land bug 803719, bug 800805, and bug 836568.
  • bug 520992: getComputedStyle / height ignoring -moz-box-sizing:border-box (analysis to see if we can get a simple patch for this)
  • bug 824965: GetCaretPositionFromPoint returns incorrect offset in text editor (if I have time)

Blocked On:

  • Review for layout changes in bug 803719 (dbaron currently assigned to review these, but perhaps there’s someone else?)

Other:

  • PTO tomorrow and Friday for WCHA hockey tournament (Go Fighting Sioux)

Round Table

  • (jchen) During ANR reporter’s privacy review, we were asked to append the telemetry opt-out notice to convey the type of information sent in ANR reports (stacks and logs when ANR happens)

    • Some ideas:
      • “… information about performance, stability, hardware, usage and customizations …”
      • “… information about performance, program state, hardware, usage and customizations …”
      • “… information about performance, status, hardware, usage and customizations …”
