Major Topics for This Week

Monitoring Beta
Now that Fx14 Beta is in the Market we are monitoring feedback and crash-stats closely. We’ll keep monitoring the stability and feedback throughout the beta period.

Tablet UI Milestones
In response to the feedback we have been getting from Fx14 Beta, we are looking into ways to get some native traction for tablets. We know that in order to support tablets with Native Fennec, work needs to happen on the UI and on Flash support. Some short-term planning has been happening to see if we can start landing small, well scoped, patches into Fx15. There is no guarantee that anything would be uplifted into Fx14.

Round Table

QA

Socorro/Breakpad/Stability

Hightlights:

  • Socorro team is ramping up for b2g, rapid beta, and some other projects.

  • Filtering of data in place for official builds

      • bug 726385 – replace 8 digit hex addresses with a placeholder within Java signatures
  • Hoping that Beta 3 will hit target of under 10 crashes per 100 ADU

Socorro bugs:

  • bug 727286 – Incorrect messaging when failing to submit a crash report

  • bug 672606 – Aggregate numbers and topcrashes for Nightly and Aurora channels based on build ID date instead of crash date

Skiplist

Breakpad Integration bugs:

  • bug 750348 A large number of devices are not showing up with the device identifiers

SUMO

  • All docs are ready for L10n

  • Feedback has slowed to ~20 reviews per day
  • For beta2 (sat-tuesday) the large % of low reviews are for crashes and instability
  • For issues also reported on SUMO, I’m adding [sumo] to the bugs
  • For tablets, users really want flash and speed followed by desktop view and tab switching (low reviews on tablet have slowed to 18% of all reviews for Beta)

Actions from Last Week

  • ally/jen to come back with an answer on how we feel about AitC as a blocker to the FF15 apps work

    • AitC is a blocker for FF15. The plan is to have FF15 stand up all the pieces of the apps ecosystem and AitC is an integral part of that. In FF16, the fit and finish for K9o will be done. Any questions ping Jen at jarguello@mozilla.com.
  • matt/alex to figure out why our adobe blocklist didn’t eliminate the reader bustage

Feedback Summary

Desktop

Firefox 12 issues summary:

We currently have a 5% increase in issues over Firefox 11. This seems to be a combination of issues including:

Firefox 12 is slow – Thread was originally about a gfx card issue, but I think it turned into a pile on thread [1]
[2]
[3]

Firefox 12 consumes too much memory – Another thread that has spiked but is probably a combination of issues. [4]
[5]
[6]

Facebook games won’t load – Slight spike over 11. Still investigating. [7]
[8]

Foxit Reader causing Hotmail issues: Foxit is aware of the issue. They have a fix in the works. We’ve updated all the threads and are seeing a decrease in the reports.
[9]
[10]

PDF Issues on Mac – After blocklist we are seeing a dramatic decrease in reports. I’ve verified the blocklist works. We have updated all the threads and created documentation. [11]
[12]

Firefox 12 incorrectly caching pages – Bug filed [13]
[14]

FF12 praise summary, down 5% from FF11:

fast:
[15]
[16]

stable:
[17]
[18]

Beta (copied from the channel meeting):

  • Update on beta issues:

  • Feature feedback:
    • most of the feedback from the new tab behavior has been positive. Complaints are mostly around the precise behavior of how things show up there or wanting to rearrange/edit the boxes.

    • New home page reactions are pretty mixed, people say that they’re having trouble setting/changing away from it and some people wanted a google bar back. Some users want the newtab page to be part of the home page. Cheng is trying to track down a product person for decisions.

Mobile

Overall, feedback on nativeUI is extremely positive on performance, flash and the redesign.
The Google Play rating now shows 4 stars!

For beta2, we are probably more crashy than the mainstream user expectation (but still statistically better than beta1).

Tablet: input issues on v13 XUL did spike last week, of 167 issues, the breakdown is as follows:

  • 31% no flash

  • 19% no desktop view
  • 9% text entry/keyboard problems
  • 9% slow
  • 4.5% I want v14

27 sumo questions this week, 22% are about sync setup:

  • Notable Patches:

    • bug 749425 – Push the scroll frame clip inside the scroll layer so it gets transformed by the shadow transform.

    • bug 734082 – Compute and store bounds and visual overflow bounds for both SVG leaf and container frames.

Video

  • We have libstagefright audio/video decoding working on Nexus S, Galaxy S2, and Akami devices running B2G. Will land soon once some build system stuff is reviewed. Still have to figure out how to support linking to different libstagefright binaries in a single build. [eflores, doublec]

  • libcubeb audio backend landed and enabled on nightly for Linux (ALSA). Windows and Mac already landed, so only Android remains. Matthew is working on software stream mixing which will make the Android backend easier. [kinetik]
  • fullscreenWithKeys support has landed, along with integration with pointer-lock API. [cpearce]

DOM

WebAPI

  • Started looking at implementing plumbing for security model, including “cookie jars” (or rather “data jars” since they affect IndexedDB and localStorage as well). Will not affect firefox for now, but will let us do cool things in the future in Firefox if we want to. bug 756644

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Core;component=Identity;resolution=—;list_id=3096171

Plugins

  • We are experiencing feedback reports in Firefox 13 that youtube and netflix continue to play audio after the tab is closed/navigated. If you experience this, please don’t ignore it and help come up with details STR. See bug 757262 (youtube) and bug 756250 (netflix).

Stability Report

Socorro

  • With Wednesday’s Socorro update, anyone with an admin login will be able to retrieve URLs for a signature easily directly in Socorro UI.

Desktop

Trunk

  • Huge crash spike

    • bug 756796 fixed but will take some time for a crash of that magnitude to fade out of the stats.

    • Other spikes seem to be correlated to that issue – bug 756798,bug 756797
    • As bad as the spike was/is, people were putting Sunday work in to repro, get the fix done, reviewed and landed, thanks for that!
  • Watching crash regressions closely over the next couple of weeks as we get close to next merge.

Aurora

Beta

Release

  • Dealing with a number of issues relating to Flash.

    • The decision for now is to go for a variant of the blocklist we haven’t done before. If you navigate to a page that is running Flash and it’s an old version – we have a notification bar.

    • Adobe gave us symbols that haven’t been obfuscated. We reprocessed all the reports. For the 11.2 version.
    • Still outstanding issue around 11.3 being particularly crashy – discuss in stability work week.
    • bug 686335 – mentioned in the discussion of blocklisting. Not a problem with the notification bar. Nominated as tracking for 13.

Mobile

  • Great progress on crashes for beta – 9.97 crashes per 100 ADU for b2.

  • Still need to bring that down but making great progress.
  • Tracking top 10 list closely and more fixes pending for b3.

See Mobile Notes for Mobile specific Socorro notes

  • 14.0b2 Beta top crashes

    • bug 752368 – Random black screens when opening links from other applications

      • this should be fixed in nightly, if you have encountered this, please check to make sure you are on the latest nightly (by going to about:firefox) and place in steps to reproduce (STR) in the bug.
    • bug 732901 – java.lang.IllegalStateException: at android.widget.ListView.layoutChildren(ListView.java) at android.widget.ListView.commonKey(ListView.java) with Adapter(class org.mozilla.gecko.TabsTray$TabsAdapter)
      • this should be in the next beta
    • bug 731288 – crash @ libgui.so
      • Patch approved, waiting for it to land
  • Aurora top crashes

    • bug 752368 – Random black screens when opening links from other applications (see above)

    • bug 731288 – crash @ libgui.so (see above)
    • bug 744286 – crash in mozilla::layers::ContainerLayer::ComputeEffectiveTransformsForChildren @ libpvrANDROID_WSEGL
      • Need STR
  • Nightly top crashes

    • bug 731293 – Crash in nsBaseContentList::cycleCollection::CanSkipReal

    • bug 757303 – crash in [@ TouchBadMemory | mozalloc_abort | dalvik-mark-stack (deleted)@0x3127f40 ] ; Possible font fallback issue?
    • bug 745250 – java.lang.NullPointerException: at android.view.GestureDetector.onTouchEvent(GestureDetector.java)

Note:

Roundtable

  • Reminder that build system changes require review from a build system peer. – khuey

  • Possible 13.0 regression: Plugins continue to play audio after the tab is closed. [1]

Major Topics for This Week

Monitoring Beta 1
Now that Fx14 Beta 1 is in the Market (\o/) we are monitoring feedback and crash-stats closely. Check out the reddit thread and the reviews from the Market as examples.

Add-ons
We have add-ons listed on AMO that are just not compatible with Firefox Mobile (Native). We are going through the list, installing and checking the code (where possible) to verify which ones actually work in Firefox Mobile (Native). We also need to touch base with several of the add-on developers to see about getting compatible updates for Firefox Mobile (Native).

SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Contents

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty

  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • None

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

  • IanN to arrange with Jeff to send a tee-shirt or something to Serge (FotFT).

    • No response from The Scarlet PimpernelSerge to email, will try email again.

OPEN

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • ewong and Callek are looking into building on MSVC2010 by Friday.

  • tonymec is worried about status of trunk l10n: 7 languages not built since Apr 27, the other 14 currently only on Linux. This is probably related to the server moves going on.

Release Train

  • 2.9b4 shipped April 19

  • 2.9 shipped April 24
  • 2.9.1 shipped April 30
  • 2.10b1 shipped May 12

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.

  • Addon Compatibility Listings
    • Nothing special this time.
  • DOM Inspector Release Schedule (crussell)
    • bug 746784 Predictable release schedule for development and localization.

    • The last six weeks of a release cycle are for localizers no string changes will occur then. Localization happens on a branch (DOMI_2_0_12 right now) and concurrent development happens on default. Right now, DOM Inspector is set to ship with: de, el, en-GB, en-US, fr, ru, sk, sv-SE.
    • Serge has filed some bugs so that the relevant changes to pull the right branch are in place. See bug 732749 (client.py: review SeaMonkey policy about which extension revisions are packaged).
    • So in theory we could work out the correct tag from the Gecko version of the repos we’re building in? It’s not tagged it’s just a branch. To get on the right branch: 
 hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/dom-inspector
 cd ./dom-inspector
 hg update DOMI_2_0_12
    • It is to be hoped that our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) can sort it out so it is fairly automated rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • 2.9 had ~73,300 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.9.1 had ~53,600 downloads so far (2.8 reached ~203,100 downloads).

    • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 13.7% on 2.0, 5.1% on 2.1-2.3, 9.5% on 2.4-2.6, 4.4% on 2.7, 15.8% on 2.8 and 51.5% on 2.9. So, in the last four weeks, ~5k (an additional 4% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
  • Still a large, but slowly decreasing, chunk of users on 2.0.x.
  • Figure out what is preventing people from moving from 2.0.x to the latest versions.
    • Some people cannot upgrade due to system requirements (OS version, processor capabilities etc.)

    • Perhaps putting resources into getting certain extensions working with SM 2.4 and above (those that won’t work with SM 2.7 automatically due to compatible-by-default extensions).
    • Still need volunteers to look at what is keeping people at below 2.4. IanN could try knocking something up and send it round members lists for polishing but he’s not on all the channels (mozillazine, etc) to post it to when finished.
    • Are some Linux distributions are still stuck on 2.0? We have data on OSes and OS versions in the raw data in the Mozilla metrics.
    • metrics.mozilla.org now provides us a breakdown of versions against OS.
    • There seems to be a very small number of 2.0.x users on OSes not supported by later versions. We even have some users on windows 7 using 2.0x! Fortunately Windows 8 users are at least using 2.7.
    • Darwin 9.8 is last version with PPC support, so those people may stuck on old versions because of that.
      • For OSX/PPC I wonder if someone from the community could try building a contributed “TenFourMonkey” based on the patch sets from TenFourFox plus TenFourBird [Ratty].

      • SeaMonkey 2.6.1 for a PowerPC/G4 on Mac OS 10.5.x. IanN says we should advertise that more (and other contributed builds).
    • Ian has done some working on comparing profile of 2.0.x users against 2.9 ones.
      • Split between OS for 2.9 is Windows 92.82%, Linux 2.53%, MacOS 4.65% and for 2.0.x is Windows 85.37%, Linux 5.55%, MacOS 9.08%.

      • For those using 2.0.x on MacOS about 39% are on OSX 10.4 or above, whereas for 2.9 it is about 82%.
      • For those using 2.0.x on Linux about 98% are on Kernel 2.6, whereas for 2.9 it is about 69% (31% on 3.0 or above).
      • For those using 2.0.x on Windows about 37% are on Vista/7/2008, a further 62% are on XP/2003, whereas for 2.9 it is about 50% on Vista/7/2008 and 49% on XP/2003.
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.9

open tracking (0)
tracking requests (1)
targeted (3)
fixed (5)

  • One tracked 2.5 issue still open.

    • 2.1 through 2.7 have NOT included the ka (Kartvelian aka Georgian) locale. The last release with ka locale shipped was 2.0.14 and the ka l10n maintainers have not yet updated for changes in later SeaMonkey versions.

    • Callek now needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales). Callek will look at best locale to transition any ka users to.
      • Plan is to migrate ka users to en-US with a english dialog saying they are out of date, and a link to the all-locales page if there is a language they understand better. Current ADU of ka alone is 3-5 individuals, so low impact.~Callek

      • Callek and ewong were working on this but they didn’t manage to get this done by the time 2.9 shipped. No new ETA unfortunately.
  • One regression issue noted for 2.8: bug 735946 Browser is not not focused when opening links from external applications. Fixed on 2.9+.

2.Next

  • TBD

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 38 new, 26 fixed, 42 triaged.

Stanimir

stefanh

tonymec

No change.

Any other business?

  • Geolocation

    • Geolocation now works out of the box. MoCo turned it on by default for all applications that build off mozilla-central.

    • For comm-beta all we need to do is (bug 494421) to add pref("geo.wifi.uri", "https://www.google.com/loc/json"); to browser-prefs.js. However we’re not even sure we are legally allowed to ship with the URL in, we might need to actually put in a pref to disable that in newer builds.
    • No news to date. Callek will have to reach out to his MoCo legal contact again soonish.
  • Test failures
    • qawanted, especially on Linux and MacOSX specific issues: reproducing and reporting would already help.

    • Serge says that on Linux and MacOSX, he just needs someone to actually run the tests and report what they see (screen, console, etc). For example, there is a Mac test about Ctrl+W not working. This should be so trivial.
    • tonymec suggests that any enthusiastic user, even non-technical, should be able to do some testing (litmus?) and not be scared by technical language and such.
    • IanN suggests reaching out to the user community using the newsgroups and forums.
    • Serge to do a write up and send it to Ratty to propagate to the community.
      • Ratty is still waiting for Serge.

    • Bugs filed by following the link on the product page will have [Play] in the whiteboard

    • With Fennec Native on Google Play, we’ll be including betaN+ blocking bugs during channel meetings, but we’ll continue triaging nominations and release blockers as part of mobile triage
    • Fennec Native betas will have a weekly cadence after this week as with desktop, going to build no later than Wednesday for a Friday push
    • We expect our next beta of Fennec Native to be multi-locale with the same 13 localizations as XUL Fennec previously
  • We’re now here in the schedule

  • FF13 beta 4 will go-to-build today (5/15). Please land any approved beta patches ASAP, and continue working on tracked bugs
    • We should be looking for the lowest risk mitigating fix for remaining tracked bugs

Firefox Development

  • The work by a group of MSU students to get Firefox preferences “in-content” has mostly landed on trunk. Check out Jared’s blog post for more info. There’s some followup polish/theming work still remaining before we make the switch and remove the old preferences dialog.

  • FX-Team work week wrap up – read it, there’s good stuff in there!

Firefox Developer Tools

  • Developer Toolbar relanded. Preffed off, turn on devtools.toolbar.enabled to try it out.

  • Async web console starting to land, 2 of 5 patches landed.
  • Responsive Design Mode should be landing this week.

Add-on SDK

Performance

  • Perf+metrics work week this week in MV/SF

  • This week’s Snappy summary
  • Lawrence posted on hacks about Firefox 13 Snappy work.
  • Tim landed a fix to avoid setTimeout()s when handling tab clicks in bug 743877, which should significantly improve tab strip responsiveness.
  • Incremental GC making progress towards being turned on by default again (bug 750959, bug 752098).
  • Wladimir Palant (Adblock Plus fame) wrote a new Suspend background tabs add-on to halt activity in background tabs. This experimental add-on should give a sense of how we can improve lag due to background tabs.

GFX

  • Azure-Thebes will (hopefully) be turned on by default this week.

    • This applies only to hardware accelerated computers on Windows Vista and 7.

    • The net of this is that we’re going to be drawing fundamentally differently, and we can expect regressions in performance and drawing.
    • It has a very simple pref for backing out, luckily.

JS

Layout

Video

DOM

WebAPI

  • Lots of work happening on security model, but still a lot of work remaining.

  • We will probably adjust the open-web-apps API to allow multiple apps per origin since the security model will support that. Might not implement the actual support in the initial release though.
  • The Open Web Apps API has been submitted to W3C and we’ve started receiving input.
  • Initial APIs for “system intents”, camera control and Alarm API being discussed on webapi mailing list.
  • Started implementing backend for doing apps-specific permissions.

Network

Identity

Firefox front-end team met with Ben Adida & Co. last week for an Identity swarm, made good progress on understanding how things work, and getting some initial code up and going to start flushing out issues (for both sign-into-browser and native sign-into-websites)

Plugins

Mobile

Accessibility

  • No audible this week.

Tree Management

  • Switching windows 32-bit PGO builds to run on 64-bit machines this week bug 753132

  • Hoping to have signed OSX builds (for 10.8) on mozilla-central late this week or early next week bug 752613
