Market Insights from the Market Strategy Team (Kev)

Desktop

News

Microsoft released its Surface Pro 3 last week, further refining the power tablet offering and receiving mostly positive reviews for pretty much everything except the keyboard.
Why we should care: Microsoft’s Surface product line continues to grow, and is generating around $1B/quarter in revenue in a market where tablet rev/sales are plateauing (and in some cases declining). The Surface Pro 3 is closer to a Windows laptop replacement than Android or iOS tablets, and adoption bears watching.

Google now requires extensions to be hosted on the Chrome Web Store to be installed. Google is framing this as protecting the user, and to help prevent third-party and/or submarine installs. Extensions not installed via the Web Store can/will be disabled until those extensions are hosted there.
Why we should care: Google’s continuing to ratchet down access to its product via addons (specifically plugins and extensions) and what they can change in-product. The changes are advocated as user experience wins, and gives Google more control and influence over how their product is affected by other software/interests, similar to other Google products/services.

Notes

  • Chrome 35 is out, which includes a number of security updates, improved dev tools, some ECMAScript 6 implementation, un-prefixed Shadow DOM and Web Audio API, and brings “Ok Google” and folders to ChromeOS. Interesting bit dev-side is the use of AddressSanitizer for bug detection.
  • Apple also released a security update for Safari, and encouraged administrators of OS X networks to update expediently.
  • Opera continues to acquire ad companies, continuing its focus on being a mobile ad platform that makes products that integrate nicely with it. This is old news, but still interesting in where Opera continues to invest.
  • Google acquired Divide, a company that develops BYOD policy software. Continued investment in Enterprise space alongside Chromebooks and Android, and may also supplement Chrome x-platform as a BYOD client choice.

Android

News

Google quietly Google has launched an updated mobile web version of the Play store, giving users the ability to use the web versus a native app. You can have a peek at https://play.google.com/store.
Why we should care: With the integration of Chrome in the launcher, this may be a way Google plans to better integrate Play content and hardware discovery and acquisition without the need of a dedicated app (and may also drive the underlying app itself).

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Callek has been working on migrating our Linux builders to CentOS 6 bug 795354. Puppetmaster has been updated. Ewong is able to login to these hosts and buildbot is installed. We still need to get everything setup for parity and do some slight tweaks to the puppet config, but we’re pretty close to useable.
    • the scheduled 2.27 releases is June 10, thus in two weeks (and still no Linux builds)
      • there is a very high chance that we will be skipping 2.27.(will update this when I get more info.-ewong)
  • bug 983536 libpango version >= 1.22.0 required on Linux.
  • bug 977676 SeaMonkey’s puppet broken due to requirement of ffxbld ldap password.
  • bug 1008596 wrong extension branches are used on aurora, patch is ready
  • Python has been updated on all buildboxen!
  • We are perma-orange on comm-central, comm-aurora and comm-beta due to problems with tests
    • Windows en-US builds are being successfully compiled but tests are not working due to a dependency on python 2.7.3.
    • bug 908090 ImportError: No module named json, on SeaMonkey Linux/Windows (all) test runs, due to (still) using Python 2.5. We do have python 2.7 installed but our build system is picking up python 2.5 instead.
      • ewong’s patch is waiting for review. It was manually patched on the master; but, was reverted and the buildmaster was reconfigured and so the changes are gone. Need to have the patch pushed officially in order for this bug to be fixed.
    • pymake is failing with “invalid syntax” again because of an outdated Python.
    • Priority on fixing this and l10n repacks after 2.24 release.(No ETA yet)
    • bug 943740 is tracking the progress (or lack of one) in building trunk and aurora on Linux & Mac from the downloading user’s POV. (Windows nightlies are still appearing on schedule — or were until a day or two ago.)
  • No langpacks since 29th August on trunk. Needs investigating.
    • Windows and Mac trunk langpacks directories have been removed on the FTP server, maybe for lack of recent XPIs (later than 2.20a1). Latest Linux langpacks are dated 29 August. Callek told Tonymec on IRC he has a hunch about why but more pressing things to do first.
    • In Bug 902876 Comment 12 Mcsmurf is waiting for feedback from the build team on how to proceed.
  • Buildmaster is up and running.
    • Callek is hand-approving requests for CLOSED TREE landings at the moment.
    • Due to the master having some mysql issues, Callek has put a halt on the mysql updates, which affects the tbpl. So nothing is showing in tbpl atm.
  • comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* (bug 648979 etc.). Jcrammer has mostly completed the coding. Next step is consultation with mozilla-central build peers on landing the patches and also getting implicit permission to add several new top level directories to mozilla-central.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.27 beta 1 is not scheduled yet.
    • likely depends on bug 983536 libpango version >= 1.22.0 required on Linux
  • It’s very likely that we’ll skip SeaMonkey 2.27 entirely.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Bugs: Low Hanging Fruit

Not necessarily Good First Bugs but minor fixes that shouldn’t need advanced coding skills.

  • bug 1006052 RIght tabbar scroll button doesn’t get disabled when it should.
  • Implement Close Tabs to the Right.

Good student projects:

  • bug 907733 Have link-related context menus when you select a text link (like Firefox).
  • bug 1011857 Implement CustomizableUI for SeaMonkey.
  • Add ability for new tabs to load a custom page on creation. Implement “browser.newtab.url”. Also implement about:newtab as the default new tab page.

Needs investigation/confirmation/QA wanted?

  • bug 1007012 LDAP Addressbook query fails with sec_error_untrusted_issuer OR ssl_error_rx_malformed_cert_request.
  • bug 1008507 Moving/copying a thread destroys message order .
  • bug 1008728 Bookmarks menu subfolders don’t display if bookmark titles are long.
  • bug 1008779 SeaMonkey 2.26 pdf viewer prints blank page. Things were fine prior to 2.26 release. To confirm that this is fixed by Core bug 1003707.
  • bug 1012491 Some attempts at HTTP requests result in browser hanging. Someone who is familiar with debugging on Linux please help the person reporting bug 1012491.
  • bug 1015714 SeaMonkey doesn’t open after havig run updater. Can anyone reproduce this problem on OSX 10.9?

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 28 new, 14 fixed, 12 triaged.

  • Low triaging effort.

Open reviews/flags:
30 review
6 super-review
4 ui-review
3 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • SeaMonkey needs a debugger for its chrome code. Jez couldn’t continue work on bug 613974 because he couldn’t figure out a way to debug Seamonkey’s JS. He suggest Firebug be modified to allow remote debugging of Seamonkey (bug 1006466). Bare minimum, have a good tutorial about how to debug Seamonkey chrome from Firefox (couldn’t get that to work either) and link it from various Seamonkey developer pages.
    • We had some discussion in the meeting if we should look at porting/including the Firefox devtools or rather look into bundling Firebug 2.0
  • TODO: We will need to update our Sync UI code due to the new Sync API. Also we need to check if we are allowed to create FX accounts from our UI Since the new Sync accounts are FX accounts.[IanN] I’m sure I saw a question about FX accounts and branding.

Modern Theme rework (Patrick Dempsey)

11:04 robcee: he's just a protocol droid.
11:05 davidb: useful nonetheless
11:08 jesup: blassey: serious voiping... try turning off AEC when on headset - not guaranteed, but I've seen that many times before with vidyo (less in the last year though)
11:09 jib: Here's the right link https://air.mozilla.org/engineering-meeting-20140527/
11:09 blassey: jesup: thanks

At some kind of building fire training thing. Three Mozilla people multiplied by three scheduled hours == a huge waste of time and money. On the bright side, in future, you must refer to me as “Fire Marshall Nick”.

Last week: in SFO for second screen workweek, did some hacking on about:devices. This week: reviewing everything and working on some Remote Tabs panel bugs.

  • bug 973837 has landed and been uplifted to Beta. It blocks view-source URI’s in the data attribute on <object>, which prevents a variant of the same security hole that necessitated blocking the URI on iframes a few months ago.
