Feedback Summary

Desktop

Firefox 20 General 4.1/5 stars

TLDR: Most users are quite happy with FF 20. There are intermittent reports of slowness, perf, and addon issues.

Positive:

  • No other browser this week has allowed me to log in to my college campus so I could work online to complete my assignments other than Firefox.Firefox is the ONLY BROWSER That Works for me!! 🙂 Thank you..
  • It’s simplicity – no distractions or flashy messages on the front page, and it’s so easy and fast to use
  • I like it better than google. It seems faster and lists places to go on the bottom that I don’t have to type them in. Keep up the good work.
  • i don’t know much about computers but i have been using Firefox for at least six years and find it to be the best for me, its fast and easy to use and for me its just right/ thank you Firefox

Negative:

  • takes lot of RAM. I expect FF to load pretty fast with a very low mem requirements.
  • I like every thing about Firefox except crashes a lot. I like the new features, I can tell it is getting faster and the crashes seem to happen less.

Private browsing: 4.0/5 stars

TLDR: Used regularly 58% of the time, rarely/never 42% of the time. Still a lot of confusion over what it does but almost everyone says positive things.

Positives:

  • I used Chrome for private navigation and Firefox for day to day stuff.
  • Finally i will be able to dump Chrome for good! Hoorray!
  • I like that that now the private browsing function opens up another window leaving the original in tact. In general it looks and feels great, not sure really how helpful i can be.
  • LOVE THIS FEATURE

Some (minor) pushback:

  • You have changed things at the bottom of tools, and over in File you put in a New Private Window. I liked tools just the way it was and did not know that you were going to make this drastic change. I have been trying to back to version 18 or 19 to get tools back the way it was. I would be happy if you could put me back to tools the way it was. Enough said……….
  • I am still on the fence about the changes to “Private browsing”. I think I might have preferred the all or none approach before. I don’t understand the reason for the change, but can live with it.

Download Manager: 3.8/5 stars

TLDR: Mostly positive. The negatives are from users that either didn’t see a reason to change the feature or just have suggestions for improving the Download Manager.

Postive:

  • I like it, because it makes it easier than having a separate window just for downloads.
  • Its much easier to use…thank you
  • its about time you guys changed it. the new one is absolutely brilliant!
  • Keep on doing what you’re doing. If I can understand it, anybody can. Thx Firefox 😉


Negative:

  • I didn’t see anything wrong with the way it was.
  • Did it NEED to be changed?
  • May just have to get used to it. Old ways sometimes die hard 🙂


Feature Suggestions:

  • There needs to be a button to quickly clear the recently downloaded files, not just through the “Show all downloads” window.
  • I’d like it more if you added a pause/resume button to the left of the open containing folder button
  • It only shows bar & remaining, I will very much love it if it will show the download speed in first click.

Mobile

No Updates. Feedback is all green with no major issues.

User Experience (Design & Research)

  • UX was on an offsite last week
  • no update this week – more next week!

Market Insights from the Product Marketing Strategy Team

Desktop / Platform

Canonical

Google

RockMelt

Microsoft

  • Microsoft released another attack in its “Scroogled” campaign, describing how the Google Play store passes users’ personal information to app developers.

Mobile

  • Chrome Beta for Android was updated to feature fullscreen support, a view of the user’s search terms in the Omnibox (location bar) and information with regards to how much data was saved through the data compression feature. Chrome for iOS was also updated with support for printing.
  • At the end of 2013 there will be 1.58 billion smartphones in use worldwide, according to The Yankee Group. Of those, 833 million will run Android, 357 million iOS, 158 million will be Blackberrys, 137 million will be on Symbian, 76 million on Windows Phone, and 20 million on other OSs.
  • Eric Schmidt quotes at Dive into Mobile:
    • On Android: “320 operators, 160 countries, 700,000 apps in the Play Store and 1.5 million activations of Android every day. We’ll cross a billion towards the end of the year. Android is the primary vehicle of smartphones – we’ll quickly get to the $100 price point, which is the key for the next five billion people looking to get connected.”
    • On local content: “In the developing world, we’re getting products launched with pre – loaded content in native languages.”
  • Hon Hai, the parent of Foxconn, who produces more than 40% of the world’s consumer electronics and a significant share of smartphones, has signed a licensing agreement with Microsoft to address infringement issues created by Google’s Android and Chrome operating systems. The manufacturer will pay royalties for those OEM clients that have not signed a deal with Microsoft. The Redmond company already has agreements with most of the big handset vendors, such as Samsung, HTC and LG.
  • Amazon will be expanding the availability of its Android app store to nearly 200 countries, from the 7 where it was previously active. In the past the extension of the app store in new countries preceded launches of Kindle tablets.
  • The most lucrative app monetization method is represented by royalties from preloading of the app (with average revenue of $4,385 / app / month), followed by licensing fees from distributors, commissioned apps and subscriptions. Advertising and pay per download feature the lowest in Vision Mobile’s developer survey on app economics. Among operating systems, iOS continues to lead the chart as most lucrative platform (average revenue of $1,880 / app / month), followed by Windows Phone and Android.
  • In the US, 4G and no – contract plans are fastest – rising motivators for purchase of a smartphone, according to a study by Google and Compete. 1 in 3 people select a phone first, then a carrier and 66% consider 2 or more phone models. 47% of purchasers look at 2 or more carriers (a 193% increase Year – over – Year) and 1 in 3 purchasers have switched carriers.
  • Microsoft, Nokia, and a number of top developers have filed a formal complaint to the European Union against Google’s use of its apps in Android. The accusation is of using Android ” as a deceptive way to build advantages for key Google apps in 70 percent of the smartphones shipped today”. This comes at a time when the European Union is in the final stages of an inquiry into the search offering of the company.
  • New version distribution numbers for Android put Gingerbread at 39.8%, Ice Cream Sandwich at 29.3% and Jelly Bean at 25%. The next version of Android, Key Lime Pie, is expected to be unveiled at Google I/O in May.
  • Today, an average US consumer spends 2 hours and 38 min a day on a phone or tablet, according to Flurry Analytics. 80% of the time is spent on apps and 20% (31 minutes) is spent on the Web. Games are the largest category in terms of time spent (32%), followed by Facebook with 18%. On iOS, the browser, Safari, comes on the third place, with 12%.
  • The Google Play Store was re – designed to optimize for discovery of entertainment content.

Marketing, Press & Public Reaction

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> IanN/Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:

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

NEW

  • —

OPEN

  • Need to reward the nominees of the friends of the fish tank from this year!

CLOSED

  • —

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • No Windows langpacks since 8th April on trunk. Needs investigating.
  • The Java on Linux bug has been tracked down to being due to our (SM’s) build config. Basically our RelEng team needs to check whether we can switch to linking libstdc++ dynamically, like FF and TB do. See: bug 754622 Oracle/Sun Java jre1.7.0_04 and later does not work in SeaMonkey.
    • In the mean time, InvisibleSmiley has added the workaround to the 2.17 and 2.18 release notes.
  • Tinderbox is going to be EOLed. We need to move the SeaMonkey tinderboxpushlog off. See:
    • bug 843356 [Tracking bug] remove SeaMonkey dependency on tinderbox.mozilla.org.
    • Mostly done now, just a few loose ends.
    • Callek has gotten up and running a newer version of TBPL (that doesn’t depend on tinderbox) for testing. This will be deployed eventually to replace the current TBPL code we are running.
    • Mcsmurf needs to talk to Callek to see if tbpl can get more memory (some PHP(?) setting?) as sometimes fetching a log fails due to not enough memory (See bug 845844).
  • Intermittent issue with Mac OSX64 Debug Leak log comprehension. Issue tracked in bug 774844. Also see possibly related Thunderbird bug 806492..
  • Two remaining machines on Parallels are the buildmaster (cb-seamonkey-linuxmaster-01) and Linux64 (cb-seamonkey-linux64-01). These need to be migrated to ESX. Specifically:
    • sea-vm-linux64-1 will replace cb-seamonkey-linux64-01 (and is ready to go)
    • sea-master1 will replace the current buildmaster.
  • bug 740633 set up seamonkey HPs in scl3. Hardware installed and iLO configured. CentOS 6.3 installed.
    • Awaiting puppetmaster fully prepared to instantiate as Linux Mock-Based slaves
  • sea-puppet (one of said hp machines) is ready to be configured as a puppet master (bug 827079), needs audit of the manifests and settings creation.
  • comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* eventually. Jcrammer is working on this.

Fixed Stuff Since Last Meeting

  • bug 858014 MailNews 3-pane window broken [msgWindow.rootDocShell is null]

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.17 shipped April 2.
  • SeaMonkey 2.18b1 shipped April 5.
  • SeaMonkey 2.17.1 shipped April 14.

Too many betas

  • The current plan, according to Callek, is that we will have betas corresponding to the mozilla-central/firefox betas 1,3, and 6. Plus a beta corresponding to 5 if we have stuff changed between 3 and 5. However our Betas will be numbered consecutively.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • There are now Lightning versions for both SM 2.17.x (Lightning 2.2b1) and SM 2.18 betas (Lightning 2.3b1) available on AMO.
  • Shipped extensions (DOMI, CZ, Venkman) compatibility:
    • Extensions are now compatible by default thus mitigating the issue. Although some people still disable c-b-d and run into issues.
    • SeaMonkey 2.18 will ship ChatZilla 0.9.90
  • Our build team (Callek, ewong, Serge) needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
  • Callek made some changes to the tags that SM pulls (CZ, Venkman, DOMI) for comm-central. See comm-central changeset 347b255c4810.
  • Nightly Tester Tools is being actively developed by xabolcs (coder) and whimboo (reviewer) to make it more compatible with comm-central in general and SeaMonkey in particular. See Issues · mozilla/nightlytt · GitHub.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • [From a previous meeting:] There is a problem with the metrics server, so no current data is available
  • 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, and 2.14 dropping Mac OS X 10.5 support.
    • We now have a webpage for contributed builds available for “Legacy Platforms” like PPC (bug 759315)
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

      • porting bug needed for the two configure.in changesets? Changes could be folded into bug 794772 above.
      • IanN says he will look into these issues. Ewong is also working on bug 794772.

Feature List, Planning

Private Browsing is now mostly complete and uplifted to 2.18. Most things should work but some edge cases have probably been missed. Hopefully any remaining bugs will be found before its release.

  • Testing would be appreciated! Please file bugs as blocking the meta bug 460895.
  • We need to figure out if we want a new about:privatebrowsing page which someone will have to write. We also don’t have any help content yet.

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 49 new, 16 fixed, 24 triaged.

  • Medium triaging effort.

    • Ratty thinks we will need 2x PNGs as well as other changes. See Core Tracking bug 785330 for supporting HiDPI mode (Retina Display) on Mac OS X.
  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
    • Ratty suggests featuring one or more bugs from that page at each meeting.
  • Featured helpwanted bugs:

Good First Bugs

  • Note: The GFB list is open to all including our regular contributors.
  • Ratty is working on an updated GFB list, suggestions welcome.
  • New GFBs recently added:
  • Currently there are 24 GFBs open, 2 are being actively worked on. bug 735333 needs some help getting this running on the try-server. Mcsmurf is assisting.
  • List of Open mentored bugs.
    • Ratty notes that there are 23 bugs that are GFBs but without the mentor keyword. These need to be audited to see if they are really suitable as GFBs.
  • In the last two weeks since the previous meeting:
    • bug 735333 Use Services.prefs instead of preferences-service / gPrefService, in SeaMonkey code. Mcsmurf will check in the Services.prefs patches soon. IanN says that once this is done, it’s worth asking people who use trunk to give those areas a good test, because we have regressed before with Services.jsm landings.
      • Mcsmurf did some testing on this, but need to check how to “discover” JS bugs, as they don’t generate TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL in the log.
    • bug 752331 Atul had to give up on this bug due to illness. Ratty will leave this open for the time being.
  • Mentors of stalled bugs should try to communicate with the assignees and if they can’t work on them any more to unassign/free up those bugs.

Grow Mozilla

Speaker Location: San Francisco

As part of our 15th anniversary, we’d like everyone to help us build a history of Mozilla told by Mozillians. Every week until the Summit, we’ll be blogging a different milestone in our history and we’d like you to attach stories, photos of t-shirts, photos of other stuff, and videos in the comments of those posts.

One thing we could do with the stories Mozillians share is update the History of the Mozilla Project. Imagine the possibilities of combining our stories with the cutting-edge technology behind the Horsehead Saga Timelime.

Please share your memories about this Mozilla milestone: The Mozilla project begins

Automation & Tools

  • Many panda failures (intermittent reboots) have been diagnosed as a wiring issue in the chassis. Wiring is being replaced this week. Many thanks to jmaher, dividehex, and kmoir for some amazing debugging on this one
  • Fixed some issues with errant bugmail in bugzilla
  • Working with developers on an experimental microbenchmark performance suite – more to come as code starts to land.
  • We noticed that our mentored bugs/good first bugs had gotten kind of stale and it was hard for contributors to really understand what is needed and what is required in those bugs. We’re going to freshen those up this week, and we encourage other teams at Mozilla to do the same.

Major Topics for This Week

Stability

Fx20 is more stable than previous release. We dropped below 2%. We have also been landing some fixes that might affect the SQL related crashes. We found some explicit problems in the code thanks to the “Dump all threads” feature in our test framework and the ANR work Jim has been adding. Nightly has no SQL DB locking crashes since Apr 6 builds. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Landing Soon

Keep a lookout for these new features that should landing: Host/Domain name autocompletion (bug 858340), Switch to tab (bug 729463), Set default search engine (bug 730445) and keyboard shortcuts (bug 726716)

WebRTC for Android

Landed on mozilla-central! It’s behind a build flag, so it’s not enabled on Nightlies yet. We need to do some testing to see how well the device support is going to be.

Friends of the Mobile team

Give a shoutout/thanks to people for helping fix and test bugs.

Schedule & Progress onUpcoming Releases

Firefox Desktop

    • Support for Social multi provider – (Mixi, Cliqz, MSN Now)
  • FF21.0b2 for mobile is with QA and will be released before end of week

Aurora (22)

Feedback Summary

Desktop

Firefox 20 General 4.1/5 stars

TLDR: Most users are quite happy with FF 20. There are intermittent reports of slowness, perf, and addon issues.

Positive:

  • No other browser this week has allowed me to log in to my college campus so I could work online to complete my assignments other than Firefox.Firefox is the ONLY BROWSER That Works for me!! 🙂 Thank you..
  • It’s simplicity – no distractions or flashy messages on the front page, and it’s so easy and fast to use
  • I like it better than google. It seems faster and lists places to go on the bottom that I don’t have to type them in. Keep up the good work.
  • i don’t know much about computers but i have been using Firefox for at least six years and find it to be the best for me, its fast and easy to use and for me its just right/ thank you Firefox

Negative:

  • takes lot of RAM. I expect FF to load pretty fast with a very low mem requirements.
  • I like every thing about Firefox except crashes a lot. I like the new features, I can tell it is getting faster and the crashes seem to happen less.

Private browsing: 4.0/5 stars

TLDR: Used regularly 58% of the time, rarely/never 42% of the time. Still a lot of confusion over what it does but almost everyone says positive things.

Positives:

  • I used Chrome for private navigation and Firefox for day to day stuff.
  • Finally i will be able to dump Chrome for good! Hoorray!
  • I like that that now the private browsing function opens up another window leaving the original in tact. In general it looks and feels great, not sure really how helpful i can be.
  • LOVE THIS FEATURE

Some (minor) pushback:

  • You have changed things at the bottom of tools, and over in File you put in a New Private Window. I liked tools just the way it was and did not know that you were going to make this drastic change. I have been trying to back to version 18 or 19 to get tools back the way it was. I would be happy if you could put me back to tools the way it was. Enough said……….
  • I am still on the fence about the changes to “Private browsing”. I think I might have preferred the all or none approach before. I don’t understand the reason for the change, but can live with it.

Download Manager: 3.8/5 stars

TLDR: Mostly positive. The negatives are from users that either didn’t see a reason to change the feature or just have suggestions for improving the Download Manager.

Postive:

  • I like it, because it makes it easier than having a separate window just for downloads.
  • Its much easier to use…thank you
  • its about time you guys changed it. the new one is absolutely brilliant!
  • Keep on doing what you’re doing. If I can understand it, anybody can. Thx Firefox 😉


Negative:

  • I didn’t see anything wrong with the way it was.
  • Did it NEED to be changed?
  • May just have to get used to it. Old ways sometimes die hard 🙂


Feature Suggestions:

  • There needs to be a button to quickly clear the recently downloaded files, not just through the “Show all downloads” window.
  • I’d like it more if you added a pause/resume button to the left of the open containing folder button
  • It only shows bar & remaining, I will very much love it if it will show the download speed in first click.

Market Insights from the Product Marketing Strategy Team

Desktop / Platform

Google

  • Google forked WebKit creating a new engine called Blink. While Google is able to remove “7 build systems, more than 7,000 files and 4.5 million lines”, the WebKit community is also cleaning house.
  • Chrome 27 Beta was released. Web content appears 5% faster, the Chromium team now uses benchmarks from webpagetest.org in their testing, a “simple, elegant user interface” for month, week, and date <input> types, live, low-latency audio support for the Web Audio API, the Sync FileSystem API for Chrome Apps, and other improvements.
  • Chrome now has a regularly-updated, detailed, feature dashboard for web platform work.
  • Chrome for Android now syncs passwords and autofill entries for logged-in users.
  • In likely effort to better support emerging markets with poorer bandwidth, select videos on YouTube are now available at a 144p pixel video resolution

Microsoft

  • Microsoft released [www.computerworld.com/s/article/9238278/Microsoft_takes_new_Scroogled_shot_at_Google another attack] in its “Scroogled” campaign, describing how the Google Play store passes users’ personal information to app developers.

Mobile

  • Facebook Home was released.
    • An app that extends into a whole phone experience, similar to a launcher, but with deep social integration, the product will be pre – installed on the HTC First.
    • It is available to install on a limited number of high – end devices (HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy Note II).
    • Analysts estimate that Facebook Home is available to 10 – 15% of the current Android install base and with added support for Android 4 and later it can have an addressable base of over 50% of Android. Facebook’s current mobile user base was 29% on iOS and 38% on Android in December 2012, so analysts estimate that Home will be available to 20 – 25% of the current Facebook mobile user base and assuming Android v4 support it could reach 45 – 50%.
  • Microsoft, Nokia, and a number of top developers have filed a formal complaint to the European Union against Google’s use of its apps in Android. The accusation is of using Android ” as a deceptive way to build advantages for key Google apps in 70 percent of the smartphones shipped today”. This comes at a time when the European Union is in the final stages of an inquiry into the search offering of the company.
  • New version distribution numbers for Android put Gingerbread at 39.8%, Ice Cream Sandwich at 29.3% and Jelly Bean at 25%. The next version of Android, Key Lime Pie, is expected to be unveiled at Google I/O in May.
  • Today, an average US consumer spends 2 hours and 38 min a day on a phone or tablet, according to Flurry Analytics. 80% of the time is spent on apps and 20% (31 minutes) is spent on the Web. Games are the largest category in terms of time spent (32%), followed by Facebook with 18%. On iOS, the browser, Safari, comes on the third place, with 12%.
  • The Google Play Store was re – designed to optimize for discovery of entertainment content.

This group created a lot of things that will help all teams and local communities bring in new contributors.

If you’re interested in bringing in new contributors to your project, now is the perfect time since the opportunity has never been greater. When we encouraged people to get involved with Mozilla as part of promotions for Mozilla’s 15th anniversary, we had over 1,600 potential volunteers contact us in a single day.

User Advocacy (formerly SUMO Report)

The big negative feedback topic for Firefox 20 is the removal of the Quit option (SUMO Article on removing Quit). This was an expected backlash, so we aren’t too worried about it right now.

A few complaints around website rendering, but we have not been able to reproduce. Keeping an eye on that.

Users love the ability to edit their top sites (some coming back to edit their reviews from previous versions) and private browsing, but both features need more visibility.

“Smooth and fast Since the new update Firefox has improved greatly, buttery smooth, this became my default browser. Keep up this good work”
