Add-ons

We have add-ons listed on AMO that are just not compatible with Firefox Mobile (Native). We are going through the list, installing and checking the code (where possible) to verify which ones actually work in Firefox Mobile (Native). We also need to touch base with several of the add-on developers to see about getting compatible updates for Firefox Mobile (Native).

Feedback Summary

Desktop

Firefox 12 issues summary:

We currently have a 5% increase in issues over Firefox 11. This seems to be a combination of issues including:

[1]
[2]

Foxit Reader causing Hotmail issues: Solution is to rollback to an older version of Foxit. This combined with the Adobe Reader issue is sticky.

« last meeting | index | next meeting »

SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Contents

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • None

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

  • IanN to arrange with Jeff to send a tee-shirt or something to Serge (FotFT).
    • No response from The Scarlet PimpernelSerge to email, will try email again.

OPEN

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • ewong and Callek are looking into building on MSVC2010 by Friday.
  • tonymec is worried about status of trunk l10n: 7 languages not built since Apr 27, the other 14 currently only on Linux. This is probably related to the server moves going on.

Release Train

  • 2.9b4 shipped April 19
  • 2.9 shipped April 24
  • 2.9.1 shipped April 30
  • 2.10b1 shipped May 12

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
    • Nothing special this time.
  • DOM Inspector Release Schedule (crussell)
    • bug 746784 Predictable release schedule for development and localization.
    • The last six weeks of a release cycle are for localizers no string changes will occur then. Localization happens on a branch (DOMI_2_0_12 right now) and concurrent development happens on default. Right now, DOM Inspector is set to ship with: de, el, en-GB, en-US, fr, ru, sk, sv-SE.
    • Serge has filed some bugs so that the relevant changes to pull the right branch are in place. See bug 732749 (client.py: review SeaMonkey policy about which extension revisions are packaged).
    • So in theory we could work out the correct tag from the Gecko version of the repos we’re building in? It’s not tagged it’s just a branch. To get on the right branch: 
 hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/dom-inspector
 cd ./dom-inspector
 hg update DOMI_2_0_12
    • It is to be hoped that our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) can sort it out so it is fairly automated rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • 2.9 had ~73,300 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.9.1 had ~53,600 downloads so far (2.8 reached ~203,100 downloads).
    • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 13.7% on 2.0, 5.1% on 2.1-2.3, 9.5% on 2.4-2.6, 4.4% on 2.7, 15.8% on 2.8 and 51.5% on 2.9. So, in the last four weeks, ~5k (an additional 4% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
  • Still a large, but slowly decreasing, chunk of users on 2.0.x.
  • Figure out what is preventing people from moving from 2.0.x to the latest versions.
    • Some people cannot upgrade due to system requirements (OS version, processor capabilities etc.)
    • Perhaps putting resources into getting certain extensions working with SM 2.4 and above (those that won’t work with SM 2.7 automatically due to compatible-by-default extensions).
    • Still need volunteers to look at what is keeping people at below 2.4. IanN could try knocking something up and send it round members lists for polishing but he’s not on all the channels (mozillazine, etc) to post it to when finished.
    • Are some Linux distributions are still stuck on 2.0? We have data on OSes and OS versions in the raw data in the Mozilla metrics.
    • metrics.mozilla.org now provides us a breakdown of versions against OS.
    • There seems to be a very small number of 2.0.x users on OSes not supported by later versions. We even have some users on windows 7 using 2.0x! Fortunately Windows 8 users are at least using 2.7.
    • Darwin 9.8 is last version with PPC support, so those people may stuck on old versions because of that.
      • For OSX/PPC I wonder if someone from the community could try building a contributed “TenFourMonkey” based on the patch sets from TenFourFox plus TenFourBird [Ratty].
      • SeaMonkey 2.6.1 for a PowerPC/G4 on Mac OS 10.5.x. IanN says we should advertise that more (and other contributed builds).
    • Ian has done some working on comparing profile of 2.0.x users against 2.9 ones.
      • Split between OS for 2.9 is Windows 92.82%, Linux 2.53%, MacOS 4.65% and for 2.0.x is Windows 85.37%, Linux 5.55%, MacOS 9.08%.
      • For those using 2.0.x on MacOS about 39% are on OSX 10.4 or above, whereas for 2.9 it is about 82%.
      • For those using 2.0.x on Linux about 98% are on Kernel 2.6, whereas for 2.9 it is about 69% (31% on 3.0 or above).
      • For those using 2.0.x on Windows about 37% are on Vista/7/2008, a further 62% are on XP/2003, whereas for 2.9 it is about 50% on Vista/7/2008 and 49% on XP/2003.
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.9

open tracking (0)
tracking requests (1)
targeted (3)
fixed (5)

  • One tracked 2.5 issue still open.
    • 2.1 through 2.7 have NOT included the ka (Kartvelian aka Georgian) locale. The last release with ka locale shipped was 2.0.14 and the ka l10n maintainers have not yet updated for changes in later SeaMonkey versions.
    • Callek now needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales). Callek will look at best locale to transition any ka users to.
      • Plan is to migrate ka users to en-US with a english dialog saying they are out of date, and a link to the all-locales page if there is a language they understand better. Current ADU of ka alone is 3-5 individuals, so low impact.~Callek
      • Callek and ewong were working on this but they didn’t manage to get this done by the time 2.9 shipped. No new ETA unfortunately.
  • One regression issue noted for 2.8: bug 735946 Browser is not not focused when opening links from external applications. Fixed on 2.9+.

2.Next

  • TBD

tonymec

No change.

Any other business?

  • Geolocation
    • Geolocation now works out of the box. MoCo turned it on by default for all applications that build off mozilla-central.
    • For comm-beta all we need to do is (bug 494421) to add pref("geo.wifi.uri", "https://www.google.com/loc/json"); to browser-prefs.js. However we’re not even sure we are legally allowed to ship with the URL in, we might need to actually put in a pref to disable that in newer builds.
    • No news to date. Callek will have to reach out to his MoCo legal contact again soonish.
  • Test failures
    • qawanted, especially on Linux and MacOSX specific issues: reproducing and reporting would already help.
    • Serge says that on Linux and MacOSX, he just needs someone to actually run the tests and report what they see (screen, console, etc). For example, there is a Mac test about Ctrl+W not working. This should be so trivial.
    • tonymec suggests that any enthusiastic user, even non-technical, should be able to do some testing (litmus?) and not be scared by technical language and such.
    • IanN suggests reaching out to the user community using the newsgroups and forums.
    • Serge to do a write up and send it to Ratty to propagate to the community.
      • Ratty is still waiting for Serge.

Contents

Kilimanjaro

  • Product team working on solidifying requirements for “base camp”.
  • Still working toward larger Kilimanjaro goal.
  • Triage today at 11:30am. Conflicts with the daily mobile triage. Trying to find another time that would enable mobile folks to attend.

Notices / Schedule

  • Fennec Native 14 beta 1 is now live on Google Play!
    • Bugs filed by following the link on the product page will have [Play] in the whiteboard
    • With Fennec Native on Google Play, we’ll be including betaN+ blocking bugs during channel meetings, but we’ll continue triaging nominations and release blockers as part of mobile triage
    • Fennec Native betas will have a weekly cadence after this week as with desktop, going to build no later than Wednesday for a Friday push
    • We expect our next beta of Fennec Native to be multi-locale with the same 13 localizations as XUL Fennec previously
  • We’re now here in the schedule
  • FF13 beta 4 will go-to-build today (5/15). Please land any approved beta patches ASAP, and continue working on tracked bugs
    • We should be looking for the lowest risk mitigating fix for remaining tracked bugs

Firefox Development

  • The work by a group of MSU students to get Firefox preferences “in-content” has mostly landed on trunk. Check out Jared’s blog post for more info. There’s some followup polish/theming work still remaining before we make the switch and remove the old preferences dialog.
  • FX-Team work week wrap up – read it, there’s good stuff in there!

Firefox Developer Tools

  • Developer Toolbar relanded. Preffed off, turn on devtools.toolbar.enabled to try it out.
  • Async web console starting to land, 2 of 5 patches landed.
  • Responsive Design Mode should be landing this week.

Add-on SDK

Performance

  • Perf+metrics work week this week in MV/SF
  • This week’s Snappy summary
  • Lawrence posted on hacks about Firefox 13 Snappy work.
  • Tim landed a fix to avoid setTimeout()s when handling tab clicks in bug 743877, which should significantly improve tab strip responsiveness.
  • Incremental GC making progress towards being turned on by default again (bug 750959, bug 752098).
  • Wladimir Palant (Adblock Plus fame) wrote a new Suspend background tabs add-on to halt activity in background tabs. This experimental add-on should give a sense of how we can improve lag due to background tabs.

GFX

  • Azure-Thebes will (hopefully) be turned on by default this week.
    • This applies only to hardware accelerated computers on Windows Vista and 7.
    • The net of this is that we’re going to be drawing fundamentally differently, and we can expect regressions in performance and drawing.
    • It has a very simple pref for backing out, luckily.

JS

Layout

Video

DOM

WebAPI

  • Lots of work happening on security model, but still a lot of work remaining.
  • We will probably adjust the open-web-apps API to allow multiple apps per origin since the security model will support that. Might not implement the actual support in the initial release though.
  • The Open Web Apps API has been submitted to W3C and we’ve started receiving input.
  • Initial APIs for “system intents”, camera control and Alarm API being discussed on webapi mailing list.
  • Started implementing backend for doing apps-specific permissions.

Network

Identity

Firefox front-end team met with Ben Adida & Co. last week for an Identity swarm, made good progress on understanding how things work, and getting some initial code up and going to start flushing out issues (for both sign-into-browser and native sign-into-websites)

Plugins

Mobile

Accessibility

  • No audible this week.

Tree Management

  • Switching windows 32-bit PGO builds to run on 64-bit machines this week bug 753132
  • Hoping to have signed OSX builds (for 10.8) on mozilla-central late this week or early next week bug 752613

Actions from Last Week

  • dcm to find updated states of sdk usage in new addons
  • thunder/mconnor – update on identity+sync
  • michelleluna – look at gmail feedback for aurora this week (doesn’t reload); Answer: there is no input data to suggest a widepsread reloading Gmail issue in Firefox, I see only 6 comments out of 999 related to Gmail and none about not reloading, see input.mozilla.org/en-US/?product=firefox&version=14.0a2&date_start=2012-04-25&date_end=&q= A more generic search for ‘google’ also surfaces no comments about mail issues.

    • Looking to back out this functionality – bug 750936
    • Native Install
    • Chromeless launch of apps
  • Mozillian Marketplace Release is out! We need feedback!
    • Please be mindful that this is an internal release and of alpha quality. Early access is limited to Mozillians and partners for testing, so please do not tweet, communicate or share screenshots, features or details about the Marketplace for now.
    • Download Firefox Desktop Nightly (Fx15)
    • Have a look at the wiki to learn more about the testing procedure.
    • If you run into any hiccups, you can report them to apps-feedback@mozilla.com.
    • Once you’re done, there’s also an online survey for you to fill out.
  • Firefox Desktop 15 (Nightly)
    • Working on fixing bugs – mostly fit and polish to fit Kilimanjaro requirements
  • Firefox Mobile 15 (Nightly) – in progress
    • Work started in Fx14 continues in 15.
    • Proposed marketplace bundling with Fennec is an open issue. See bug 738545
  • Apps in the Cloud
    • AITC client continues
    • AITC Server – Completed

Developer Experience

  • Responsive Design View has been added to Kilimanjaro. Currently targeting Firefox 15.
  • We’re also still targeting Firefox 15 for the JavaScript Debugger, which also has remote debugging capability for Android and B2G.
  • Also aiming for Firefox 15 for the Developer Toolbar. This feature will start pulling the tools together and providing quick keyboard access via a command line.
  • The last major missing piece of functionality for the Firefox developer tools is a network view. Firebug leader Jan (Honza) Odvarko has extracted this functionality from Firebug into a separate addon called HTTP Monitor. The goal is to try sharing this code between Firebug and Firefox. They’re also working on making this remotable like the JavaScript Debugger. We’re hoping to have this functionality in Firefox soon, but not Firefox 15.
  • The Apps developer ecosystem team is making good progress on their projects, including the first documentation “track” that takes web developers from beginning to end through an application. They are also building a “bootstrap” application template that Apps developers can use to get their projects started. More news on these as we get closer to release. These are part of Kilimanjaro.
