Support
Top Issues
- startup crashes like bug 434403 and bug 401513 (google desktop) are most frequent reports
- showing bookmarks in awesomebar results by default is seen as a privacy issue — people don’t seem to understand what they’re seeing
- some users are experiencing locked profiles after Major Update; seems to be related to Norton 360
Localization
- temporary build bots
- running at bsmedberg’s home, upload not nifty. All builds reporting to Mozilla-l10n, locale-specific steps report to l10n tinderbox pages, too. No compare-locales yet. Builds uploaded on latest-mozilla-central-l10n ftp
- localization update
- From the dashboard,
- 20 locales landed fx changes
- 4 tier 1, minus en-GB, ja
- only 6 out of 14 in tier 2
- new locales in 3.0.2 landing on l10n-central soon (+8)
QA
- Release discussions. Was it too much cramming in 4 releases in the same month? (MU, 2.0.0.17, 3.0.2, 3.1a2)
- Concern of work overload led to simple mistakes
- Maybe timing was just bad, with Competitor pressure + vacations?
