All-hands Status Meeting Agenda

Items in this section will be shared during the live all-hand status meeting.

Friends of Mozilla

  • Big thanks to everyone from IT, Release Engineering, Cloud Services, Foundation Operations, Automation, QA, Developer Services, and even some developers (way too many people to name, and probably some from departments I didn’t list) who pitched in the latter half of this last week and over the weekend to patch and reboot servers after the glibc zero-day. Thanks for your efforts in keeping our employees, community members, and users safe!
  • Very big thanks to everybody involved in our new social support program. Special thanks to Andrew, Swarnava, Daniela, Berni, Benny, Stefan and Ghaith for being super active and 100% awesome!
  • Thanks to new Mozilla Hacks authors who published on Hacks in recent weeks: Tanvi Vyas, Stephanie Hobson, Kartikaya Gupta, April King, and Stuart Colville. Great posts on GA, HTTPS, APZ, CSP etc. For more than just the acronyms, you’ll want to read the posts!

Building Products with Partners: Monthly Speaker Series with April Underwood of Slack

  • Time: 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UTC
  • Location: Mozilla SF + Air Mozilla
  • Topic: Building Products with Partners: Interview with Slack VP April Underwood

Building products is complex. Building products with partners, considerably moreso. Varying missions, resources, goals, strategies and cultures pose challenges. But partnering well on products is often worth the effort. This month April Underwood, head of all product & partnerships at Slack, will draw from her experiences at Google, Twitter, Travelocity and more to help us navigate the complexities of marrying products and partnerships. She’ll be interviewed by our very own Bertrand Neveux, who has built products with partners for most of his career at and leading up to Mozilla.

  • Speaker: April Underwood is VP of Product at Slack, a messaging platform that has evolved into a diverse ecosystem of partners. There, she drives key growth initiatives and oversees platform products, partnerships, API integrations and developer relations. She previously worked on products for Travelocity, Apple, Google, Climate Corp (Weatherbill). Just before joining Slack, April led teams of Product Managers as Director of Product on Twitter’s fast-growing Advertising (Ads API, ads.twitter.com) and Data (Firehose, Gnip) products. She was also a PM for the Tweet Button and Twitter API, and built Twitter’s Business Development team from the ground up to strike strategic partnerships with firms including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, EA, Salesforce and Adobe. And while she used to write code (and sometimes writes term sheets as an angel investor), her first love is building and leading product teams and working with engineers and designers to build and launch great products that people want to use.
  • Host: Bertrand Neveux
  • Questions: Submit questions for April during the event on IRC #AirMozilla.
  • Hashtags: #mozSS #brantina

  • Double-clicking on diffs to open comments in MozReview will be user-optional soon: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246769
  • rstrong on indefinite leave, ping bsmedberg if you need assistance
  • Please consider taking some time this week to doublecheck non-fixed security bugs you have access to, whether they have owners, and are otherwise in a ‘good’ state.
    • Q: is there a way to see how many security/restricted-access bugs there are in a component?
      • If you are in the relevant security group for that component, you can bugzilla quicksearch for “group:security” combined with whatever other quicksearch terms for open/closed bugs, components, etc.
        • I do not believe there is a way to determine this number if you are not in the relevant security group; if you think you should be in a particular group and aren’t, speak to your manager. If you are a volunteer and think you need access, I’m not sure what to do, but you could ping me (Gijs) and I’ll find out.
        • It may or may not be useful to have counts per component more accessible than they currently are. I’m not the right person to talk to and/or make a decision regarding that, consider talking to Emma Humphries with ideas/thoughts about that.

Friends of the Firefox team

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

Project Updates

Add-ons

E10s

  • Very few M8’s remain. We have a short list of M9’s as well (M8 is “things we truly believed we needed to fix for 46”, and M9 is “things we discovered needed to be fixed from Telemetry / beta bug reports”)
  • First Experiment has concluded (e10s enabled on beta for users with and without add-ons)
    • Even with add-ons, the main process crashes less when e10s is enabled, which is good
    • However, when you sum the number of parent + content process crashes, e10s seems less stable than non-e10s, even for users without add-ons
      • https://github.com/vitillo/e10s_analyses/blob/f9ad11ff7fafaf55d8ca740bef660773b7057927/beta45-withaddons/e10s_crash_rate_without_addons.ipynb
      • https://github.com/vitillo/e10s_analyses/blob/f9ad11ff7fafaf55d8ca740bef660773b7057927/beta45-withaddons/e10s_crash_rate.ipynb
      • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246180 has been filed to track stability bugs
  • Got some janky add-ons data too: https://gist.github.com/chutten/1c1df7314f480603a6df
  • Second Experiment started on Friday
    • This is going to blanket a good chunk of our beta population, and is going to be used to inform a go/no-go for e10s on for users without add-ons for Release 46.
    • We’re also going to make sure our “switching” logic works to ensure that users that aren’t supposed to get e10s (have add-ons, a11y stuff), truly don’t get it.
    • felipe has details
  • e10s tests:
    • still looking for owners for the long tail
    • mochitest-chrome wasn’t running at all, a fair bit of work going on there

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • [frg] Is there any hope that Mozilla fixes the build bots? if not an alternate distribution plan should be developed.
  • [IanN] I know there is working going on but Callek_cloud9 and ewong|away probably know more.
  • Ratty thinks we really should plan for a alternative distribution plan. Suggests Jenkins as an alternative to buildbot. Unfortunately he hasn’t been able to get a hold of ewong for the last week.
  • IanN will talk to our RelEng about this. We need some simple but effective and easy to maintain.
  • [frg] l10 seems to be generally broken or problematic. Seeing lots of commits in the Firefox Beta tree.
  • [rsx11m] no visible action on getting 2.40 out either
  • [Ratty] I may start uploading my private builds to callek.net. Will have to do some coordination with Adrian Kalla who is doing some L10n builds on Linux.
  • Notes:
    • Callek: Regarding the windows systems, sadly no progress yet. I’m hopeful we can get done sooner than later, I’m realistic expecting it won’t be until january at earliest.
    • Ewong will set up a cron job to do semi regular builds on the loaner machine.
      • The loaner machine was decommissioned without notice.
      • Got a new loaner.
    • Windows nightly trunk builds are unavailable due to various bugs such as bug 1092468 and bug 1108970. Migrating our Windows builders to Win2008 and our compiler toolchain to VS2013 would likely solve this and other bustages.
    • There are also some upcoming changes to L10n build system in Q1 2015 (bug 1107635).
    • Even en-US builds have stopped again. The latest trunk nightlies were 2.43a1 dated 9-Jan-2016 for L32 & L64, 6-Jan-2016 for Mac, and 2.42a1 dated 11-Nov-2015 for W32. No 2.44a1 yet, to parallel Firefox 47.0a1 which is being published every night (or every day depending on your timezone).
    • bug 1083689 Langpacks aren’t updated when auto-updating SeaMonkey because they aren’t uploaded to AMO. The solution requires changes in SeaMonkey RelEng (and possibly AMO).
    • For various reasons we don’t have a working SeaMonkey Treeherder.
    • wrt bug 1155011, we already have a Soccoro token. The patches on bug 1155013 require approval and then pushed and the work-around patches backed out.
  • [2nd February 2016]
    • [Tonymec] Building has stopped since 9 January. No tinderbox builds either. [frg] c-c would be clear to me. c-a pulls the wrong Chatzilla and Inspector again. Not sure if this is the cause. See bug 1167346. [IanN] ewong|away has mentioned looking at Jenkins.
  • [19th January 2016]
    • [comm-central]
  • [8th December 2015]
  • No Update. Ewong is hospitalized. Get well soon!
    • Excluding Windows, the tree is green for most part. We’re down one osx64 slave.
    • Re: Tests. Still broken.
      • Currently bug 1209378 is in progress to fix the perma-brokeness of our testing infrastructure; but it is ‘hard’.
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.39 was released November 8th, 2015.
  • SeaMonkey 2.40 final (tracking bug 1233615) is in progress: in limbo.
    • Without ewong we are stuck.
    • IanN to check with Callek_cloud9 to see if he can help.
    • build #4 are up for all platforms and locales
    • Windows builds aren’t signed yet
    • apparently there is an issue with uploading those builds to the new S3 infrastructure [1] See bug 1223633 and bug 1213721
  • comm-release default tip is on 2.41 now.
  • Next merges scheduled for March 7 (February 29th: beta→release).
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • Lightning betas are up for both 2.40 and 2.41.
  • We are looking for a new place to host the Addon Compatibility Listings for the Add-on Converter in order to make it easy to maintain and to serve as the main database for the AMO browsing extension in the future. The details are in this post.
  • Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/
    This tool goes a little further beyond simply modifying install.rdf – it also identifies a few more other things in the code that are Firefox or Thunderbird specific and attempts to change them. Of course, not all extensions can be ported so easily to SeaMonkey since there’s only so much an automated tool like that can do.
    • Lemon Juice continues to improve his already impressive Addon Converter. The source is now available on GitHub [2].
    • looking for a better(?) home for extension-converter pages, along with a way to track successful and conversion-failed add-ons, and respective integration into SeaMonkey by add-on or manager overlay [3], bug 1145026.
    • Rainer Bielefeld will no longer update the list of Firefox addons that have been successfully converted by the Addon Converter. — Rrbd (talk) 09:59, 16 August 2015 (PDT)
    • Ratty filed bug 1130390 to add a link on seamonkey-projects.org to the Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey.
    • The AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey extension, which makes AMO pages a lot more SeaMonkey-friendly, seems mature. (It had 9 successive revisions between 27 September and 3 October, and no change since then.) It was developed by LemonJuice (of Add-on Converter fame), and Tonymec, who tested it and now uses it, supports it enthusiastically. The author proposes to add it as a “built-in extension” besides ChatZilla, DOMi and the like. What do you think? (See also Bug 1145026: AMO Add-On-Descriptions: Add link function leading to SeaMonkey add-on-converter and filling URL input pane; the extension actually does much more than the bug’s Summary implies: for instance it gets rid of the stupid “You need Firefox 10 or later” popups.
  • The Thunderbird team is now shipping Lightning with Thunderbird. IanN will work on shipping lightning too. Related bugs:
    • bug 516026 Integrate Lightning Into SeaMonkey by Default and Ship SeaMonkey with Lightning Enabled
    • bug 1130854 Package Lightning with Thunderbird for c-c and c-a builds.
    • bug 1113183 Integrate Lightning Into Thunderbird by Default.
    • bug 1130852 Add opt-in dialog to promote Calendar integration [Thunderbird].
  • Ratty has the Firefox Devtools up and running. We can now use the Firefox Devtools debugger in both remote and local mode.
    • Venkman is now totally retired R.I.P..

2.Next

  • We have official permission to use the Firefox FxA 2.0 sync servers! We need someone to work on porting sync 2.0 over to replace legacy sync code. The finer details of how are so far unknown, but we should have a usable solution before legacy sync is turned off. See: New Firefox Sync has landed in Firefox Nightly. Tracked in:
    • bug 998807 Sync account creation or device pairing fails with exception in BrowserIDManager.
    • bug 1003434 Add support for about:sync-progress.
  • Stalled. Needs a kick.
    • bug 815954 Click-to-Play: Port bug 812562 (click-to-play blocklisted plugins: reshow urlbar notification as with normal click-to-play).
    • bug 476108 GetShortPathNameW fails under some NTFS junctions [patchlove].
  • Current breakages:
    • bug 1209875 did break any builds of 2.41+ containing a localized ChatZilla – bug 1213641 filled
    • No en-US trunk builds later than 30 November yet (or even 11 November on win32). Aurora is currently building on Linux (L32 / L64) only.
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • Changes to Safe Browsing.
    • Firefox is currently changing styles of several Toolkit pages
      • already affected: config.xul for about:config, Will be fixed in SeaMonkey bug 1222816.
      • Toolkit meta bug for about:* pages: bug 1097111 – SeaMonkey tracking in bug 1133743.
      • Modern may need updating as IDs are changing, Default needs forking if we want to roll back to previous styles
      • Ratty restored about:privatebrowsing UI to before it was messed up by Project Chameleon styles [bug 1192276]. Subsequent to Chameleon, Firefox developers have again redesigned the about:privatebrowsing UI to include UI for tracking protection. We should look into picking any changes we like.
      • mozilla-central bug 1189918 and bug 1190465 allow to fork Toolkit style pages for the classic/default/modern theme without harming theme developers. SeaMonkey bug 1022354 will move theme overrides to the theme manifests.
        • affected pages that should be reverted are about:config [bug 1222816], about:addons [bug 1222817], about:support [bug 1222818] (look ok in Modern but hurt in the Default theme).
    • A lot of these bugs are due to mozilla-central switching from synchronous APIs to Asynchronous APIs.
    • bug 566746 (asyncFormHistory) Form history should use asynchronous storage API. Tracked in:
      • bug 912031 Use Asynchronous FormHistory.jsm in place of nsIFormHistory2 in Suite.
    • The C++ downloads manager backend nsIDownloadManager is being decommissioned. Firefox and Thunderbird have migrated to jsdownloads.
    • bug 825588 Asynchronous JavaScript API for downloads and bug 851471 Decommission nsIDownloadManager. Tracked in:
      • bug 888915 Move SeaMonkey to the new JavaScript API for downloads when nsIDownloadManager is decommissioned. Neil has a WIP patch on hand.
    • We’ve picked up he default for security.tls.version.min from Mozilla Core, but security.tls.version.fallback-limit is new. So we need to consider adding the latter to our preferences UI (bug 1123673).
      • Currently unclear whether or not this should be done after bug 1084025 disable insecure TLS version fallback entirely by default [4]
      • alternative proposal is to make whitelist for acceptable fallback sites available in the UI, which seems to make more sense.
  • bug 1198340 The carousel within Add-On Manager can be used for SeaMonkey specific content. TO DO: Find out what sort of format AMO needs for the carousel. Get our webdev person to create necessary content. Submit content for upload to AMO.
    • Unfortunately nobody knows exactly how addons.mozilla.works because there’s no full time developer working on AMO. Ratty was given bug 1009759 as an example. So now we need someone who knows python+django.
    • About specific aspects of this problem, see: bug 1230796, bug 1230804, bug 1230806 and maybe more.
    • [Ratty] The url for the discovery pane is set in a pref. Instantbird points the URL to a chrome XUL document. If we do this we don’t have to worry about the python stuff.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 17 new, 3 fixed, 6 triaged.

  • low triaging effort, low number of new bugs filed.
  • Ratty has a SeaMonkey build with a working Firefox Devtools!!!! Relevant patches:
    • bug 1208112 Package DevTools client in SeaMonkey now that it’s been moved out of /browser/ [checked-in].
    • bug 1223338 Add DevTools client L10N language files to SeaMonkey builds [checked-in].
    • bug 1223341 Add the Firefox Devtools to the SeaMonkey UI. Waiting for review.
    • bug 1223344 Some tweaks to gDevTools.jsm to get Devtools working in SeaMonkey [Devtools]. Waiting for review.
    • Not working yet: WebIDE and Responsive Design. But everything else seems to work.
  • Mozilla wants to separate Firefox and Thunderbird, in infrastructure and organizationally, which will likely affect SeaMonkey as well
  • Fundamental core features Firefox/Mozilla plans to remove:
    • bug 1222546 Product plan: remove support for heavyweight themes
      • if effective for all Toolkit applications, would render most 3rd-party themes disfunct
      • no sufficiently plausible specifics provided ‘why’ full themes ‘must’ no longer be supported
      • may prohibit Modern theme being shipped with or installed in SeaMonkey
      • removal is “decided” without any clear alternative envisioned
    • The toolkit help viewer is going away. Neil is working on resuscitating the old XPFE help viewer which apparently has more features.
  • IanN thinks it would be useful to remind people on the newsgroups / forums that they can contribute by triaging. Tonymec will post a reminder to newsgroups / forums. See bug 1092632 (Sm_tri_HowTo) Document how to triage SeaMonkey bugs.
    • The HowTo page has been moved to SeaMonkey/QA/Triage HowTo. No one having objected (or even reacted), bug 1092632 is now RESOLVED FIXED. See its comment #18 for the announcement URLs.

Open reviews/flags:
66 review
6 super-review
1 ui-review
14 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO:
    • Encrypted Media Extensions / Digital Rights Management
      • bug 1127784 added a preference and UI to enable/disable playback of Encrypted Media Extensions, with UI seen in non-release builds only
      • more work appears to be needed to download necessary 3rd-party Content Decryption Modules, some UI can probably be ported from Firefox
  • What about declaring linux-x86_64 builds found at seamonkey-project.org and at ftp.m.o as “official” ?

On October 7 two people asked in #seamonkey at a few minutes’ interval when there would be “official” 64-bit SM builds for Linux. I pointed them to the x86_64 release at the bottom of the “Other languages” release page for 2.38 and to the x86_64 2.40a2 aurora & 2.41a1 trunk builds at the bottom of the ftp.m.o nightly/latest-comm-* pages but they said these were not “official”.

So — how are we going to get out of the following vicious circle? 64-bit builds are not “official” because too few users, and users don’t install them (some even prefer compiling their own) because they aren’t “official”.

Maybe change the online documentation? (perhaps as part of bug 1208822 “System Requirements page needs update”?)

— Tonymec (talk) 13:56, 7 October 2015 (PDT)

  • [ewong:] what’s the prerequisites of making the Linux64 builds ‘official’ aside for the issue of getting the tests done for Linux64; but our testing infrastructure is busted. bug 1209378

— Discussion on locale translations for DOMi and Chatzilla —

  • [frg] Localized Chatzilla builds currently break suite compile starting with 2.41. See bug 1229810 Port bug 1228444 and bug 1228467 to Chatzilla.
  • [IanN] The tagging has fixed the issue for chatzilla before 2.41 but more is needed for 2.41 and above?
  • [frg] Yes. The optional language xpi will not compile in 2.41 and is broken in 2.42 and up. install.rdf missing. The main xpi is fine.
  • [IanN] Can you spin a bug off with the steps to generate the optional language xpi for 2.41 along with any errors, similarly another one for 2.42 and up. If it ends up being the same fix, not a problem, bugs are cheap. just cc me.
  • [IanN] Ratty: do we need to start looking at how to overlay Chatzilla and DOMi on top of the TB’s new merged (c-c + m-c) repository?
  • [Ratty] Not sure. I hope we can continue doing what we have been doing using nested repositories. However in the new merged repository. The comm-central client.py is replaced by the mozilla-central client.py so I don’t know how this will work.
  • [IanN] Merging DOMi into comm-central would make SeaMonkey releases easier. We just need to sort out locale building for DOMi.

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).

frg

Waiting for review:

  • bug 1055954 popup exceptions are not added. Please review and let me know if it’s ok. Contains string changes and clock for next merge day is ticking…
  • bug 1188348 data manager: domains invisible for Permissions, Preferences, Passwords. Please review. Clock for next merge day is also ticking here…
  • bug 1200263 Help → Report Web Forgery … does nothing.

Working on:

  • bug 1238767 Localized Suite build fails in DebugQA: Stalled. I think the l10 build system might be responsible and tries to pick up files from the wrong location. Adrin Kalla thinks I need to do an l10 merge only. I disagree because the xpi only explicitly supports en-US builds.
  • bug 920951 Update SeaMonkey Safebrowsing preferences to sync with Mozilla-Central: Got it working with an external api key and added a second alternate patch to the bug. Might still needs some work but it blocked and seems to work generally. I can now turn it off again:) Checking downloads would need the new Download Manager imho. Tracking protection might be next on the platter.

Otherwise just looking thru the unassigned bug list and see what I might be able to fix.

Tidbits:

Chatzilla imho only needs one more patch and it should build l10n for 2.41 and up:

Would also need new tags for client.py as stated in:

  • bug 1167346 comm-aurora builds are not building due to DOMi and Chatzilla pulling from revisions earlier…

This might clear up:

  • bug 1244467 Localized Builds: Chatzilla language pack missing from Seamonkey installer package

Other things on my mind:

  • enable-optimize=-O2 should be used for Windows release builds. Linux gcc –enable-optimize optimizes for speed. With VS2013 it optimizes for size. Resulting O2 Windows build feels a lot snappier.

Rainer Bielefeld

currently working on
 
ToDo / Pending

  • From SeaMonkey/StatusMeetings/2016-02-02#Rainer_Bielefeld:
    • No success with AMO upload of lomon_juice’s add-on-browser because of license issues
    • After general fix for bug 1153577 – Users should be able to hide the menubar and show it with the ALT key some non-WIN-OS related issues, what might become annoying when we get 2.40 builds
  • See I want to discuss!
 
I want to discuss
  • How to track Core bugfixes for SeaMonkey
Problem: I don’t know what bugfixes when will be introduced into SeaMonkey (manually? automatically?). For example bug 1193153 – Copy/paste from a plain text editor has been fixed for TB45 2015-12-01, but I still see it in SM 2.44a1. Forgotten?
Possible method of resolution:

  • Adventage: compared to any manually maintained lists: Allows bugzilla Queries
  • Disadventages:
currently some private solution, nowhere defined tags
QA-Whiteboard field not available for all components where required
Uncommon spelling “seamonkey-2.42” with hyphen
  • Alternative: Leave SM Bugs open for tracking
  • Adventage: easy tracking in BZ
  • Disadventages:
We do not always have SeaMonkey DUPs, should we really open such reports only for tracking?
This method with parallel Bugs is confusing, People might feel invited to leave comments …
Ideas: ?

Ratty

Fixed:

In Progress:

  • bug 1223341 Add the Firefox Devtools to the SeaMonkey UI.
  • bug 1235805 Rollup patch: Add preload content policy types for images (bug 1048048) Use the loading document’s principal to populate loadInfo for Favicons instead of using systemPrincipal (bug 1119386) nsITaskbarPreview::Invalidate no longer throws when not visible.
  • bug 1222816 Restore about:config UI (Config Editor) to old appearance by overriding Toolkit’s Project Chameleon styles.
  • bug 1238428 Workaround the NS_APP_PROFILE_DEFAULTS_{NLOC_,}50_DIR directory keys removed in bug 1234012.

On Hold:

  • bug 1239707 Switch to use in-tree version of compare-locales (SeaMonkey Part).

Needs Investigating:

TODO:

  • Fix Thunderbird defaut theme overrides.
  • Front end changes needed for bug 1042699 Block cross-origin add-on install requests.
  • bug 1011857 Implement CustomizableUI shim for SeaMonkey.
  • bug 1174466 Popup blocker: Need to allow popups opened by loaded javascript: URIs from the location bar. Regression from bug 896947.
  • bug 1224907 Bookmarks Manager Search box is missing in SeaMonkey 2.3.9.
  • bug 1236982 Simplify SeaMonkey CSS for Lightning toolbar buttons.

Other stuff:

  • Did some reviews and approvals.
  • Bug triage and Bug discussions.
  • Usual end user support and PR in newsgroups and Mozillazine.

rsx11m

Landed on comm-central:

  • bug 1245110 Remove help about (now removed) “Ask for each cookie” option in preferences dialog.

Waiting for comm-aurora/beta approval:

  • bug 1245110 Remove help about (now removed) “Ask for each cookie” option in preferences dialog.

May need retargeting:

  • bug 1123673 Consider exposing security.tls.version.fallback-limit in SSL prefpane to accommodate SSL 3.0 legacy sites.

Other:

  • Bug triage, testing, and commenting for SeaMonkey and MailNews Core.
  • End-user information and discussion on MozillaZine.

tonymec

I’m intentionally listing here what regards anything included in SeaMonkey, even shared components such as the Toolkit product or built-in extensions such as ChatZilla.

Any other business?

  • Top crashes are bug 1245743, bug 1232229 and bug 1245386 (bug 1245870 and bug 1210099 show up in data but have fixes uplifted in recent days)

Beta

  • Overall rate: 1.3 – browser 1.1, content 0.2 – red
  • bug 1247380 (gfxContext::PushGroupAndCopyBackground) is 4.4% of non-e10s crashes (7.5% overall) and #1 Top Crash Score in 45.0b4, potential fix is in the bug
  • bug 1232229 (FinalizeTypedArenas) is 2.9% of non-e10s crashes (similiar in grand total), some thoughts on a potential way to a fix are on the bug, but it’s not fully understood.
  • networking shutdownhangs: bug 1158189 and bug 1215970 are 2.5% of non-e10s crashes each, more investigation ongoing
  • Flash crash rate is still high, bug 1245200, Async Drawing, was disabled in bug 1246311. Also Adobe is working on fixing the crash on their side.

Release

  • Overall rate: 1.0 – yellow
  • still borderline between yellow and green, networking shutdownhangs are about 9% of total crashes in both 44.0 and 44.0.1 data

Stability

Aurora / Dev Edition

Beta

  • Overall rate: 1.4 – browser 1.2, content 0.2 – red
  • bug 1231024 (js::jit::BacktrackingAllocator::splitAt) is 6% of non-e10s 45.0b2 crashes, and #1 Top Crash Score, fix should be in for b3
  • bug 1232229 (FinalizeTypedArenas) is 3.6%, more instrumentation on Nightly to find out about this
  • bug 1245674 (mozilla::dom::Promise::AppendCallbacks, places shutdown) is 1.8%
  • plugin crash spike seems to be pretty much one Flash signature, related to Async Drawing, Adobe is investigating, see bug 1245200
  • bug 1210099 (e10s, Skype+Avast) is not large in stats any more now that we disabled e10s for Skype CtP users

Release

  • Overall rate: 0.95 – green
  • relase is back to the borderline green/yellow line, difference to when it was firmly green is mostly a rise in shutdownhangs over the last 6 weeks
    • this situation could be potentially helped by bug 913822, which just landed for 45.0b3
  • bug 916762 and bug 1222933 still #1 and #2 Top Crash Score, bug 1222171 uplift should fix the former in a dot-release
