Round Table

  • (johnath) Are we sending good startup stats to telemetry? Once we push to beta, we’ll have sufficient telemetry volume from the real world to be able to calibrate our own testing (“we see 2400ms startup internally, but telemetry reports median startup of 2800ms, neat!”)
  • (pike) owner for bug 713464, English labels displayed initially on multilanguage apk instead of localized stringsĀ ? No idea what’s going on on Axel’s side.
  • (cpeterson) Do we have a plan to address bug 701002 and bug 701390 to improve Socorro crash reporting?
  • bug 701002 – Put Java stacks into a separate field (not AppNotes)
  • (elancaster) What is happening with search plug-ins?
  • Showcase: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Fennec/NativeUI/Showcase1-18
  • PR needs some performance data: how much faster are we than XUL? In what ways?
