Major Topics for This Week

4 Stars in Play Store

We hit 4 visible stars on release and 4.0 rating on beta

Fx15 Released

Lots of positive ratings. Some confusion about hybrid (phablet) UI.

Fx16 Uplift

We still have two items that need to be uplifted to Fx16. A security fix for Reader (bug 778582) and Feedback Solicitation (bug 774479).

WebApps Update

We had a great WebApps testday, which uncovered a few important bugs, as well as some UX issues. Due to several factors, we are holding WebApps from Fx16.

Stand ups

Suggested format:

  • What did you do last week?

  • Anything blocking you?

Please keep your update to under 2 minutes!

96,231 Total Reviews (+2618)

Trending Topics/Issues in Rating Comments:

  • UI Complaints
  • Text Input
  • Text Looks Jagged

Observations:
Crashing (a concern with this update) isn’t being mentioned at all in the comments. we will see how this plays out over the next few days. There seems to be an issue with text input (words being duplicated, etc.)

We also have a smaller issue that is text appearing jagged in 15. Haven’t narrowed this down any, will be keeping an eye on it over the next 2-3 days.

Good Points:
The users love this release! It fixes nearly all of our main complaints from Firefox 14, plus improves startup speed significantly according to some users. Ratings are up dramatically in the past 48 hours as well.
