Notices / Schedule

Please focus on bugs tracked for FF15 and FF16

  • FF14.0.1 was unthrottled last Thursday, based upon early post-release feedback
  • FF14.0.1 post-mortem held this morning – discussion focused on plugins and update uptake
  • FF15 beta 3 (of 6) going to build today, will be released before the end of the week

Firefox OS

  • Milestone 5 – focusing on wrapping up the feature work that’s left, polishing UI, bug fixing and performance optimizations
  • Gaia app updates are at https://etherpad.mozilla.org/gaia-meeting-notes
  • Identity and WebAPI updates are below.
  • Technical Release Plan partially signed off after driver meeting last week, more details soon
    • Focus was on short-term decisions (branching, updates, testing, etc.)
    • ESR17 will be the Gecko basis for B2G v1. See email to enterprise list and dev.platform soon.
  • Blockers for internal dogfooding and external testing have been identified and are being prioritized
  • Hardware dogfooding now has all interested parties involved (including IT and engagement)

Firefox Development

  • Social: bug 764869, bug 764872, bug 773351, bug 770695: big pieces of the work that makes Social actually semi-usable have landed. That means that you can test social features using “MoTown” in Nightly builds, by setting social.enabled = true.
  • bug 769960 landed this weekend, big cleanup of safe browsing front-end code by dolske, paves the way for additional cleanup (bug 775851) and better code re-use from mobile and other apps
  • (catlee) What’s the status of the stub installer work? When are we aiming to land this? What changes are required for RelEng?

Firefox Developer Tools

Add-on SDK

Performance

  • Nick Hurley blogged about his research into cache usage results
  • According to telemetry, 10-20% of start-ups feature cache nuking. Brian Bondy used telemetry to investigate causes for cache purges in bug 774146.
  • And Brian landed a fix to lower IO priority of nuking our cache (bug 773518).
  • Tim Taubert made our new tab animation more pleasant (bug 716108).
  • Tim also landed a fix to halve jank caused by thumbnail capture (bug 774811), which should result in a better tab-switching experience.
  • Jon Coppeard enabled incremental GC sweeping (bug 729760), which should result in slightly smaller GC pauses.

GFX

  • Azure content (currently enabled for Direct2D, i.e., hardware accelerated Windows Vista and 7) is being turned off for Firefox 15 (currently in beta) due to regressions.
    • It’s staying on in 16, though.
    • The new 2D API is still our future, it’s just not ready for prime time yet.

JS

Layout

Media

DOM

WebAPI

Network

Identity

Feedback Summary

Desktop

Top Issues:

Flash

  • Flash continues to be one of our top issues. Many users were hoping that 14.0.1 would resolve the issue.

Stability

  • Hanging, crashing, not responding and excessive system load. [1]
  • There are quite a few reports from these users that the issue was NOT happening in 13 [2].
  • Around a 20% increase in mentions of crashes, freezing, or unresponsiveness in 14.0.1 compared to 13.0.1 [3]
  • Many indicate that having multiple tabs open is a significant contributor [4]
  • Firefox 14.0.1/Bit Defender. Does not happen in 15 Beta. [5][6]

Netflix on Mac

  • This is still one of our top issues for the week. [7] [8]
  • Reports indicate that even updating Silverlight causes poor performance, jerky playback and sound issues. [9]
  • Possible unconfirmed workaround is go to finder–>applications, right click on Firefox, click on “get info”, and check the box that says “open in 32-bit mode”
  • We have a few users now willing to work with us 1 on 1. Information on this to follow.

Features in 14.0.1:

Click to Play

  • Click to play interferes with YouTube fullscreen [10]
  • Some concerns with click to play have surfaced in the SUMO community [11]

Favicon

  • The removal of Favicons from the awesome bar is receiving generally negative feedback [12]. It is difficult to be precise since the descriptions can vary greatly. Might need to do more focused research.

Native Fullscreen in Mac

  • Many users are excited about this update.
  • One complaint is that Toolbars do not auto-hide [13]

Mobile

SUMO

  • Google play reviews summary:
    • last 3676 reviews of v14 averaged 4.25 stars
    • first week of v14.01 reviews average 4.1 stars
  • 1,435 five-star reviews already for v14.01, some quotes:

“The best browser for all platforms. I’ve been using Firefox on my computer for many years, and when I started to use Android, I missed it. Now it is my default browser on Android too, and it now days look gorgeus, and is fast!”

“Flash & FF sync I’m a happy web crawler.”

“Works great! Android version is just as good as the desktop version. Love it, its my de facto browser.”

“Amazing i have tried many browsers, but firefox has proved that it is the best.”

  • Top issues in the one and two-star reviews:
  1. Complaints about slowness after upgrading to ICS. Research is in progress on the type of slowness and then we’ll get a bug on file.
  2. Crashes (HTC Evo 4G, TC Evo 3D, HTC One X, HTC G2, HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Galaxy S3)
  3. Desktop view / UA switcher (fixed in v15)
  • SUMO questions this week:

UX & User Research

Market Insights

Desktop / Platform

Adobe

Google

  • Google announced that Chrome in Windows 8 Metro mode will support Adobe Flash and its PDF Viewer, using Chrome’s Pepper API. The post also provided some statistics on plugin usage collected from 20m Chrome users. 99.9% used Flash per month, and 58% used the PDF Viewer. Only 12% used Java.
  • The Pepper API Flash Player plugin has now been turned on by default on Mac OS X in development versions of Chrome
  • Drag-and-drop of entire folders now works in Chrome
  • Support for playing encrypted WebM files has been added to Chromium, and the Chrome iOS browser now supports the Chrome to Mobile feature
  • At the Black Hat conference this week, Trustwave announced that they had successfully evaded Google Play’s “Bouncer” security-check system by placing a malicious app into the Android market
  • It appears that ChromeOS machines will soon be able to boot Ubuntu Linux, and will support the BeagleBone and Raspberry Pi ARM-based systems

Microsoft

Security

Updates

  • Major software companies, including Microsoft and Symantec, kicked off “International Technology Upgrade Week”. Skype published the results of a survey which found that nearly half of consumers fail to upgrade software regularly and a quarter don’t know why they should

W3C

  • The WHATWG and W3C have officially codified their split. Members of the WHATWG, including Apple, Google, Opera, and Mozilla, will continue to create a “living specification” while the W3C will focus on solidifying “snapshots” of it over time. The net effect of this will likely be that web platform innovation will speed up.

Mobile

Summary below, details following over email as soon as I finish them.

  • Apple results are out: 26 million iPhones and 17 million iPads
  • There were 24.9 million tablets sold in Q2, 68% of which were iPads and 29.3% Androids, according to Strategy Analytics
  • Sino Market Research reported that Lenovo became the second-largest mobile brand in China, taking over Huawei and Nokia

Marketing, Press & Public Reaction

Engagement:

  • We continue to focus on three areas to help us reach our ADI goals: improving the download experience, Social API, and Tiger Team campaigns
  • Progress on these efforts are reported out in my Firefox Desktop report – email me if you’re not on that list (lforrest@mozilla.com)

PR:

Firefox 15 beta boasts support for Opus audio format, reduces add-on memory leaks [14]

Firefox 15 Will Finally Fix Memory Leaks Caused By Add-Ons [15]

Firefox 15 Beta Tackles Memory Leaks [16]

Firefox 15 beta brings the new Opus audio codec to the forefront [17]

Questions, Comments, FYI

  • (Michael Verdi) Who do I talk to about changes to Firefox Options window? Trying to get a heads up on new preferences and changes to preferences.

Release Train

  • 2.11 shipped July 17
  • 2.12b1 shipped July 21

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
    • Nothing to highlight.
  • 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 ~79,800 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.10.1 had ~119,700 downloads so far.
    • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 12.4% on 2.0, 3.9% on 2.1-2.3, 6.0% on 2.4-2.6, 2.5% on 2.7, 4.0% on 2.8, 7.0% on 2.9 and 64.2% on 2.10. So, in the last two weeks, ~1.8k (an additional 1.5% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
    • Since 19th June ADU numbers have been dropping, any ideas why?
      • Firefox has also seen numbers dropping. People have suggested that this is the normal summer drop that we’ve seen in past years.
      • ADUs still falling but not as fast.
    • 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.
      • Someone needs to step forward and take ownership of this.
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.11

open tracking (0)
tracking requests (11)
targeted (2)
fixed (25)

  • 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 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.
    • The ka owner came back with a bundle of l10n changes to get checked in. Callek to look into doing that, and try to identify if ka will be sustained going forward before completely abandoning.

2.Next

  • TBD
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • bug 626472 Switch from nsnull to nullptr.
      • Currently tracked in bug 776630 Switch mailnews from using nsnull to nullptr [Includes all of comm-central actually].
    • bug 722332 Adapt main clients to asynchronous nsIBrowserSearchService API.
      • No tracking bug yet.
    • bug 774585 Update GetCodebasePrincipal callers to use the correct “data jar”
      • Currently tracked in bug 776577 Update usage in SeaMonkey of GetCodebasePrincipal to reflect changes to API (Port bug 774585).
    • bug 760940 Bookmarks and history menus behave incorrectly due to non-node weak map keys.
      • Tracked in bug 777005 Fix Bookmarks and history menus behave incorrectly due to non-node weak map keys (Port bug 760940).

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 47 new, 39 fixed, 84 triaged.

  • Fantastic triaging effort by Px.

Open reviews/flags:
25 review
8 super-review
0 ui-review

Business as usual.

Any other business?

  • Bug Day: Should we looking to do a bug busting day in the next 3 months?
    • Useful link: [4].
    • Tonymec emailed the members@ list asking for what? when? but no replies so far. That was 10 July with a followup on the 11th.
    • IanN suggests that we go for the top 3 or 6 in the list tonymecc sent out, and probably September or October whichever is most convenient. Tonymec suggests 21-22-23 September. No objections raised.
  • 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.

  • Unthrottling 14.0.1 decision coming at today’s channel meeting, we have no current blockers to unthrottling – if you disagree please let us know
  • Please start continue focusing on bugs tracked for FF15 and FF16

Firefox OS

  • Feature-complete deadline was on Friday, 7/20. Many UI features and fixes landed, as well as large system parts of Gaia such as Web Activities.
  • Platform team landed large pieces of the new permissions model, voicemail APIs, major pan/zoom improvements, and out-of-process support across a bunch of components.
  • Members of the Security, Privacy and WebAPI teams met last week in Mountain View to sprint on implementing the permissions and packaging model.
  • Members of the Gaia team are in Mountain View from 7/23 – 7/27 to finish some front-end work and sprint on UI polish.

Firefox Development

  • Social: Jared, Shane and Gavin: sidebar, activation (bug 764869)/toggling UI (bug 764872) landed in the past few days. Still not on by default, next milestone will be landing some foundational pieces that will allow us to expose the full functionality of the test provider (MoTown): bug 770695, bug 774003.
  • Tim Taubert fixed a leak that occurred when sidebars were used (bug 728426), and is working on improving the test leak detection mechanism to eliminate false-positive leak oranges on tinderbox (bug 728294)
  • Ekanan Ketunuti has submitted several patches to get rid of our use of -moz-prefixed properties in Firefox code (bug 772463, bug 774620, bug 775225)

Layout

  • met in person last week (with Graphics and Video)
  • SVG display lists landed, pref’ed off
    • makes painting and hit-testing for SVG work much more like it does for all other content
    • Many performance improvements already made during the groundwork
    • once pref’ed on, it will allow SVG to benefit from more existing performance optimizations (layers) and future performance optimizations (off main thread compositing, DLBI)
    • will allow other web platform consistency/parity features such as z-index to be implemented in SVG
  • landing plan for display list based invalidation (DLBI) is to split landing into a few pieces
    • still risk of regressions with each piece, but more manageable
    • some extra work needed to land pieces separately
    • high cost of merging with other changes to the code
    • trying to land automated tests for bugs reported after the previous landing
    • first piece and second piece landed
  • pieces of off-main-thread animations landed / landing: bug 706179, bug 755084
    • starting off with animating just transforms and opacity in the layer system
    • still running style change handling on the main thread, just suppressing repainting (to be improved later, but tricky)
  • other notable patches landed:
    • bug 745148: Support content processes pushing layer transactions directly to off-main-thread compositor in parent process (for b2g, spread across gfx / dom / layout)

Media

  • IETF 84 next week – hope to have early interop calls with Chrome

  • Deployment of Bugzilla 4.2 to BMO being delayed because of issues with search functionality–the magic in some of the advanced searches was removed in 4.2, which actually means that some searches are no longer possible.
    • The BMO team is fixing the 4.2 search to allow all the old functionality and make it explicit rather than with some implicit magic.
    • HTML mail and a limit on search results are being backported to 4.0 in the mean time.
  • xpcshell tests on otoro.

  • Text Selection
  • Clear Private Data
  • Request Desktop Site
  • Search Suggestions (defaulted off)
  • History and Bookmark Import
Fx16 Uplifts

Fx16 is now in Aurora and carried a few features with it that still need followup work. Make sure we track and request approval as needed. Use status-firefox16:affected so we can track bugs that need to be fixed and uplifted to Fx16:
  • Reading Mode and List
  • WebApp RT
  • Helper Apps
