Topics for This Week

UI Telemetry

Updated the UI Telemetry dashboard. We are moving into the interpretation phase and should be filing bugs for any actionable issues we discover.

Feature Videos

Launching a bunch of short videos that show off Firefox for Android features. Let’s push to get these released.

Turning off 2.2 tests this week

Some tests still don’t run on 2.3, so we’re going to loose 2.x test coverage for those. Beware and hand test relevant bits.

Friends of the Mobile Team

Give a shoutout/thanks to people for helping fix and test bugs. Make sure friends also get awarded a badge. New contributors are highlighted in bold.
