SUMO

Feedback on release is super positive (4.1 stars overall for v14 as of midnight–literally thousands of 5-star reviews in the first 24 hours!!), some notable quotes:

Now in version 14.0, the competition goes to Firefox outright. The performance is outstanding – it loads quickly and the framerate is better than the stock browser and Opera Mobile. The user interface is intuitive and a pleasure to use.

Very impressed and glad they listened to the feedback. Thanks mozilla and fellow users.

Smoking fast Wow! Well worth the wait. So much faster than the stock browser and sync gives me all my bookmarks and history.

Best android browser This has overtaken Opera as the best browser. Once you install the phony add on it is perfect. The flash support works better than Opera and the stock browser. Overall perfect cant fault it. Well done Mozilla!

Chrome dumped I just updated Firefox and this is so fast I can’t keep up with it and I’m loving it. I just dumped my chrome in favor of this well polished product.

Wow!!! This is the best android app update ever. Smoother than butter scrolling, super fast launch, great UI. Bye Google Chrome , you have been replaced!

Excellent! It’s incredible fast! Love it! Switching from chrome to firefox now 😉

Great Works much better than chrome, dolphin or stock browser. So far….

Flash Enabled !! Thank God that you are Flash enabled now !! The best upgrade ever..

Wow!! I just uninstalled Dolphin on my Evo 4G. I’ve tried FF a few times only to be left with disappointment. Not this time, I decided to try it again after reading about it on Wired/Webmonkey and it is FAST! and *apple* smooth. Thank you!!

Such a massive update!!! Work great!!! this update take me to look back to fitefix on desktop

Simply the best! Amazing update!!! The best browser for Android at the moment. Starts instantly! Very fast. Supports Flash (suck it Chrome). Easy to use. Made it my browser, deleted all other. Keep up good work, Mozilla!!!

Incredible The new firefox is super fast, feature rich, beautiful and just awesome. I have finally found a browser that I will consistently use.

Great experience Since the 14.0 Firefox has improved so much.. I was struggling b/w Chrome Beta and Firefox Beta.. and I guess Firefox will be my primary choice specially due to startup time improvement. I use Firefox on desktop, so this make perfect combination 🙂

Awsom Have been using Firefox for years and just recently switched from iOS to Android, and amazed by the fact that I can continue using Firefox as my primary browser. Love it!!!! Poor iOS users don’t know what they’re missing.

Issues:
Main issue, representing the largest percentage of low reviews in first 24hrs is lack of tablet support/tablet blockage

Schedule & Progress on Upcoming Releases

Basecamp & Kilimanjaro

Firefox Desktop

Release (13, 10esr)

  • We’ve been investigating slow FF13/13.0.1 uptake – the leading theory is that the lack of partial updates from FF12->FF13.0.1 caused the update download to be larger for many, thus slowing down uptake
    • bug 768576 – Please create custom 12.0->13.0.1 partial updates to help with uptake rate. QA currently testing.
  • Firefox 13.0.2 spun up over the weekend with a fix for bug 686335, to help with uptake of Flash 11.3 fixes
    • We’re holding this build in our back pocket given the ineffectiveness of the latest Flash update w/r/t crashes, and the fast uptake of the latest 11.3 update
  • Reminder – the next released version of Firefox desktop will be 14.0.1, in line with Firefox for Android 14.0.1

Beta (14)

  • We took bug 686335 in beta 9 over the weekend – please be on the lookout for plugin-related issues in feedback/bugs
  • Beta 10 will be built tomorrow for a Friday ship. The beta #s this cycle are awkward – please instead think about the final planned beta going to build 7/9 (less than 2 weeks away).

Aurora (15)

  • Background updates for Aurora 15 have now been enabled

Nightly (16)

Firefox Mobile

“Best update in Android app history”

Beta (14)

  • 14.0.1 is the Beta now

Aurora (15)

  • Tablet UI has started to land/uplift
  • Looking to start uplifting more features from Trunk

Nightly (16)

  • More text selection improvements
  • Landed “Request Desktop” mode
  • Reading Mode is enabled
  • Detailed control for Clear Private Data
  • Helper Apps support landed (and bounced)
  • Webapp support has improved

Mobile Web Compatibility

  • Updates from YouTube and Twitter (thanks to both!) this past week. Both sites now serve good mobile content to Firefox for Android.

Services

Firefox Sync

  • Native Fennec is out, along with Native Sync. \o/
  • Discussions about sync format changes are underway. Ping :gps if interested.

Apps In the Cloud Server

  • No deployments due to fennec launch this week.

Identity

  • Patch for backend (with sample but not final UI) of BrowserID support close to landing.
  • B2G v1 to use this backend but in a restricted manner to enable marketplace sign-in and purchases:

    • Phone can use special phone email to semi-automatically sign into marketplace and billing provider
    • Phone “email” is hidden, not for use on other sites (as it discloses your phone number)
    • We will tie phone accounts and real email (desktop) accounts after v1 launch, but before v2. e.g., by adding the ability to SMS your phone from the desktop to confirm you own that phone number

    • 6/28 – Marketplace – details here
    • 6/29 – Desktop and Android – details here

    • Proposed marketplace bundling with Fennec is an open issue. See bug 738545
    • Features landing in nightly – check them out!
  • Apps in the Cloud
    • AITC client for desktop landed for FF15
    • AITC client for mobile aimed to start for FF16

Feedback Summary

Desktop

Flash issues continue to represent 1/3 or more of our negative sentiment on Input and 15 or our top 20 SUMO issues. The issue is compounded by the fact that users are trying to turn the RealPlayer Record plugin back on thinking that the issue has been fixed or the blocklist did not work for them in the first place. We found a suggested replacement and are putting that into our documentation today. Flash 11.3 feedback is generally poor.

  • Facebook photo/video uploads use the flash uploader — this is broken in 11.3
  • SPDY Gmail/Twitter: I was able to find a user willing to work 1 on 1. Information sent to Patrick.
  • Possible Hotmail/ESPN campaign: Bug filed[1] We are getting quite a few reports from users that their hotmail pages are being redirected to espn go after a few seconds. It may be a marketing campaign. Users report that it doesn’t happen in Safari or IE though. [2] [3] [4]
  • Strange Google Characters: Bug filed [5] Google sites show symbols instead of text. Was mentioned for Twitter as well. SPDY related? Reset Firefox seemed to work. [6][7][8][9]

Beta:

Flash/youtube not working still increasing on a regular basis on the beta channel. Link. Looks like new version of flash hasn’t really improved the situation much.

Mobile

Feedback on release is super positive (4.1 stars overall for v14 as of midnight–more than 2,000 5-star reviews in the first 24 hours!!), some notable quotes:

Awsom Have been using Firefox for years and just recently switched from iOS to Android, and amazed by the fact that I can continue using Firefox as my primary browser. Love it!!!! Poor iOS users don’t know what they’re missing.

Makes me think I should go back to Firefox on my Desktop

Such a massive update!!! Work great!!! this update take me back to firefox on desktop

Very impressed and glad they listened to the feedback. Thanks mozilla and fellow users.

SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Contents

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • Mozilla IT for extraordinary care and assistance to the SeaMonkey project.

Action Items

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

NEW

OPEN

  • IanN to arrange with Jeff to send a tee-shirt or something to Serge (FotFT).
    • Serge is slowly working his way through his mail backlog. Thinks his ISP blocked IanNs emails as spam.

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • All our machines are now all out of SJC1 are are now at SCL3 or SCL1 (bug 721516).
    • Setting up SM VMs finished (bug 740613)
    • Set up all SM Win32 Machines. (bug 768303).
    • bug 744298 Straighten out OOB allocation for seamonkey HPs [fixed];
    • The R4 Macs are plugged-in, connected and base-imaged. Waiting on Callek to complete the setup.
    • cb-seamonkey-linux-01 is back in action, so we’re now at 3 Linux build slaves.
      • Next on Callek’s agenda is the linux32 VM build-up.
  • ewong and Callek are working on building on MSVC2010.
    • bug 755626 tracks the progress of changing sea-win32-02 to using MSVC2010.
    • Currently done. Trunk builds are now MSVC2010.
    • SeaMonkey Aurora will migrate to MSVC2010 this week, Callek will likely do the switch/checkin on Wednesday if everything else looks good.
  • L10n Update: (2012-05-20): l10n buildbots are building again on all three platforms for be, de, en-GB, es-AR, gl, hu, it, lt, nl, ru, sk, uk, zh-CN and zh-TW. Still nothing since end of April for cs, es-ES, fr, nb-NO, pl, pt-PT and sv-SE.
    • We currently have issues with l10n repacks on aurora/trunk, Callek didn’t get time this past weekend to peek at it. The issue relates to some of the very complex build-system logic we have, so it will take someone with time and understanding to investigate (< 10 hours of work). Callek will try and work on this weekend.

Release Train

  • 2.11b2 shipped June 14
  • 2.10.1 shipped June 16
  • 2.11b3 shipped June 23
  • 2.10.2 planned (no ETA yet)
    • in line with FF 13.0.2 “to help with uptake of Flash 11.3.300.262”
  • 2.11b4: We’ll spin b4 likely this evening, maybe tomorrow morning for a likely Friday release, unless 2.10.2 gets in our way.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
    • Lightning beta matching 2.11b now available on AMO.
    • Lightning Aurora builds are also back.
    • We loaned Calendar a Mac machine, still technically managed by us, but attached to the Calendar buildbot.
  • Our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
    • sgautherie thinks that the current DOMi branches/tags are not suitable for automatic SeaMonkey branch selection.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • 2.10 had ~74,000 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.10.1 had ~33,000 downloads so far.
    • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 12.7% on 2.0, 4.8% on 2.1-2.3, 7.8% on 2.4-2.6, 3.2% on 2.7, 5.6% on 2.8, 12.3% on 2.9 and 53.7% on 2.10. So, in the last two weeks, ~1.7k (an additional 1.3% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
    • Some people cannot upgrade due to system requirements (OS version, processor capabilities etc.). This even more applies to 2.10 which dropped support for Win2k and WinXP without SP2.
    • The current plan is to create a new page for latest builds available for “Legacy Platforms” e.g. PPC containing links to 2.6.1 PowerPC/G4 and also perhaps to seamonkey-ppc (2.10 and 2.11b3 for OSX 10.5.8) TenFourFox and Tenfourbird. We can then link to that from our main release page. See bug 759315.
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.10

open tracking (0)
tracking requests (8)
targeted (3)
fixed (16)

  • 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.
    • The plan was that Callek now needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales), and will look at the best locale to transition any ka users to.
      • Plan is to migrate ka users to en-US with an 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.
      • Seems like the ka locale maintainer finally turned up, so hopefully ka will be revived.

2.Next

  • Asynchronous load-on-demand livemarks (bug 730837) landed everywhere now (incl. 2.10.1).
  • [ewong:] Back in 2010 during the Dev meeting, IanN mentioned about the preferences being:
    • Too Cluttered.
    • Disorganized.
    • Old fashioned look. Since Netscape4.
    • Show fewer preferences.
    • The next preference panel should:
      • Expose all preferences.
      • Different level of exposure for different people.
      • Should the next preferences be something along the lines of what bug 17199 proposes?

Roundtable – Personal Status Updates

Status Updates from developers – what are you working on, what’s the progress, any other comments? (feel free to add yourself to the list if your name is missing and you have interesting status).

Callek would like to call out a thanks to InvisibleSmiley for his efforts in triaging/and identifying specifically what about the nVidia drivers was causing blurry text in SeaMonkey. After that Callek found a MoCo contact at nVidia and after bit of back and forth we were able to convince them to issue a fix. This should be out in their next update (if its not already officially released by now).

Good First Bugs:

  • InvisibleSmiley has taken over bug 746110 (Expose click-to-play plugins preference in the UI) now; got r+, waiting for ui-r? from IanN (requested by Neil).
  • IanN notes that it would be good if we could identify some more “Good First Bugs” for the community.
  • Ratty trawled through his notes and came up with a first cut of possible GFBs. Note these are “port” stuff from FX/TB type bugs so are mostly cut and paste although sometimes they require some understanding since our code isn’t totally identical and the patches need to be adapted to SeaMonkey. After a bit of non-discussion he filed several GFB bugs based on his list. See: Google groups post and Bugzilla listing.

Stanimir

stefanh

tonymec

  • ASSIGNED to nobody:
    bug 765491 porting Thunderbird bug 719413 (context menu part of Core bug 330868 “Paste Disabled After Copy from a Source That Is Not a Thunderbird Compose Window”).

    Fix (one-line port from Thunderbird) is ready but I cannot reproduce the underlying Core bug, which is “Reproducible: Sometimes” and “testcase-wanted”. Waiting for someone who can, to take ownership of the bug, get review and request checkin.

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.

    • Fx14 Beta 7 went live in the Market on 2012-06-15
    • Unless we have a need to respin, Beta 7 is RC

Major Topics for This Week

Fx14.01

Be aware that we will be doing a point release when Fx14 ships for desktop. We are using the release to get some fixes landed and to align with the desktop Gecko platform.

Beta branch mechanics

Beta 7 will be the first release off our 14.0 release branch, which means that default mozilla-beta will be open to 14.01 landings (things marked blocking-fennec:.N+). Once 14.0 is released to our release channel in the market, the beta channel will start shipping 14.01 builds from the default mozilla-beta branch. This also means that as of now, anything landing for 14.0 will need to double land on the mozilla-beta default branch and the mozilla-beta MOBILE140_2012061216_RELBRANCH branch

Stand ups

Suggested format:

  • What did you do last week?
  • What are working on this week?
  • Anything blocking you?

Please keep your update to under 2 minutes!

    • bug 739671 – Store optimized Color/ImageLayers on the ThebesLayers that they replace. (mwoodrow)

Media (not Video)

  • WebRTC 1st tranche landing scheduled for tomorrow morning early EDT (6-8am EDT-ish). Try builds percolating, both webrtc disabled (the default), and enabled (since I want it to work after it lands if enabled).
  • Per the plan, trying to land while it’s relatively quiet. Landing will be on inbound, with default for webrtc disabled so impact should be low.
  • Talking with glandium and ted about how to deal with webrtc signaling needing deep interaction with DOM (PeerConnection, MediaStreams, etc) and with media/webrtc/trunk (media code). We’re going to test static-linking gkmedia with PGO and without PGO and see what the memory use on the builders is.
