Friends of the Firefox team

Give a shoutout/thanks to people for helping fix and test bugs.

  • Max Li made it possible to double-click on <video> to toggle fullscreen (parity with YouTube, Windows Media Player, and more!) (bug 858016).
  • Sunny [:darkowlzz] fixed an edge case to fade out the video controls even when the user doesn’t move their mouse (bug 708814).
  • Brandon Waterloo fixed a regression to show the zoom cursors in framed images (bug 862117). Brandon also has been implementing gesture detection for double-tap gestures on OSX in bug 863841.

mikedeboer

Last week:

  • Search consolidation aftermath: bug 862401 and bug 860560
    • bug 862401 includes work on a nasty unit test…
  • bug 776708 – ‘Find in page’ design updates – appeared on my radar, updated patch there and fryn reviewed it
  • Australis: just fixed bug 856107, needs to be reviewed (by MattN)
  • Proposed https://github.com/mikedeboer/mozAsync to firefox-dev, great response!
    • check the ‘examples’ folder inside that repo to see what the thing does 😉
  • I will also be attending Async ‘task force’, led by Yoric

This week:

  • bug 862401: finish that friggin’ unit test
  • more Australis work?
  • File a bug re mozAsync to add it to m-c

gijs

Last Week:

  • Landed fixes for video stats on aurora and beta (bug 845555)
  • Fixed Australis tab separators (bug 851009) with lots of help from fryn and MattN
  • Wrote an essentially working patch for bug 777674 to do anonymous content in devtools, spoke to dcamp about it, need to see if we can easily improve inIDeepTreewalker so that the devtools side of things is a bit simpler.
  • Wrote an essentially working patch for bug 833943 to migrate windows and tabs on profile reset, but am blocked by startup profile directory weirdness (bug 863570), waiting on bsmedberg in order to decide on a way forward there
  • Wrote a test for bug 763890 using the GTest framework. This took most of my time; GTest finnickiness means I need some help from bsmedberg on this one, too (to wit: no XPCOM, no windows can be shown, this breaks the migration code)
  • Picked up another Australis bug bug 850924, hit issues with the UX branch reset, may need to pass this to someone who knows more about what’s going on if MattN doesn’t have a quick answer.
  • Assortment of reddit/#firefox/incoming-bugs triage stuff.

This week:

  • Try and finish the profile reset issues I’ve picked up, depending on bsmedberg’s feedback and reviews (for tab/window stuff).
