Notices / Schedule

• Firefox 10 beta 2 went out to the beta channel last Friday
  • Thanks to QA and RelEng to sliding it in there between holidays. Awesome work!

• We’re still tracking issues for a possible 9.0.2
  • You can see them @ https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_9/RRRT
  • Note we are doing a staggered / slow rollout
    • We were manual-update only initially. This is why < 3 million people got 9.0 instead of 9.0.1
    • We unthrottled automatic updates for the past week (only offering to 10% of Fx checking for updates)
    • Now that we are at ~15 million 9.0.1 users we have turned off automatic updates again for a bit to look at data
    • If you see any news articles about slow Firefox 9 uptake, please email press or release-drivers so we can let the author know what is really going on
    • Probably going to do something similar for releases in the future as well, more details will be sent to release-drivers
• We aren’t in the Amazon Appstore anymore, and we missed the holiday season for the Kindle Fire (boo). Details are in bug 713777

• Next source migration is 2012-01-31
