Major Topics for This Week

- Let’s make sure we find a rhythm (or pace) for design / dev / testing to keep focused on Fx7 while cleaning up Fx6
- Remember that we are in continuous development. Let’s make sure we finish off the features that missed Fx6 and not let them drag on too long.

Test Suites
Test Automation
- android jsreftests are online and green for m-c (and should be for m-a, will know later today)
- mochitest-2 is orange on m-c due to signed jar issue with e10s; will comment out for android and maemo (patch is landed on tracemonkey branch atm)
- tpan/tzoom/tp4m seem to fail frequently and it looks as though the browser is crashing sometime during the test, could use help in figuring this out.
