- proxy (eg causing foxyproxy problems)
- topcrash bug 1149287 is ** 31% of our crashes** – see below
- bug 1211291 (esr38, unknown in esr45) – Folders are visible, but messages are not. (?related to bug 1211358 lightning chrome.manifest not updated in 38.3.0 ?)
- nobody has a clue about what to do with this, leaning toward shipping 38.7.0 with not fix. (wsmwk) agree, ship without fixing it
- Problems updating to 38.6 to do with Lightning bug 1249894 and its five duplicates. Two users attached their extensions folder.
- Isn’t this the same as the one above, bug 1211291?

rkent
- donation website is “live” but procedures to report and spend income are not established. Meeting on Thursday 2016-04-07 with MoFo admin on this.
- beginning to investigate bug 1260724 IMAP failing with godaddy servers in TB 38
- investigated and landed bug 1250723 (esr45) – startup CRASH: C-C TB ASSERTION: can’t be your own parent aka morkTable::AddRow (v45 topcrash)
- releases
- I have a huge project to convert ExQuilla to JS (prototype for a possible similar conversion for Thunderbird) that will take the majority of my time for the next six months.
Question Time
rkent, there is no 64-bit version of TB 45 for Windows. It seems only 46+ but the next public will be 52. 🙁 Is there a possibility of compiling 45 in 64-bit?
- Someone needs to work on the release engineering to figure out to enable those builds.
Help Wanted
- Accessibility lead
- Person comfortable (not necessarily technical experts) with Core type issues. Example, graphics to guide bug 1195947 Thunderbird hardware acceleration (HWA) issues to be resolved
- Lead to run the donation campaign after TB 45 is released.
