Schedule Update

  • Best to push the schedule back for 46. beta->release merge, Apr 18 Merge: Apr 25 Release: Apr 26
    • We missed nearly 3 betas (with beta 1 only being for en-US). Beta 3, beta 6 skipped, beta 7 late (released yesterday)
    • Firefox 47 still planned to release on June 7.
  • The schedule allowed for a 7 week cycle between 46 and 47 release. Changing that to 6 weeks for 47.
  • This helps l10n as well for 46 (delayed by the infrastructure issues last week)
  • more time to iron out any issues with build promotion
  • more time to land crash fixes and react to beta 7/8 changes
  • Better crash data with e10s disabled (experiment cut-off didn’t land till beta 8)
  • If we delay 46, we will do a 45.0.2 (probably tomorrow)
    • Discussed about cancelling it because only 2 weeks away from the release but as we are delaying 46 …
    • A top crash
    • Some web compat issues
    • No single drivers but all combined… 
    Bug 1254980 -       Copy-pasting selected HTML from Firefox to a new Thunderbird message (using TB 38) or to BlueGriffon is broken as of Firefox 45

    Bug 1257861 -       Firefox 45 fails to send Cookie header with XHR post requests done from a web worker when third-party cookies are blocked

    Bug 1260961 -       Legitimate CORS requests are blocked by Firefox 45.0.1

    Bug 1258562 -       Crash in dom::MediaSource::Duration - top crash

    Bug 1256442 -       Ship 1.1.x of the Loop system add-on to the release population

    Bug 1258650 -       Yahoo finance chart comparison "overlays" not displayed properly because of bad interaction with scaled clip and mask combo

    Bug 1259482 -       Product image not changing upon selection in Woocommerce/Wordpress

Stability

Aurora

Overall rate: 2.5 – browser: 1.0, content: 1.5 – red

  • signatures of bug 1259699 are the top 3, fix uplifted yesterday

Beta

Overall rate: 1.3 – browser: 1.1, content: 0.2 – red. Not worse than beta 5, anyway (these numbers are still mostly about b5 and earlier)

  • Looks like e10s is still on for a significant amount of people, is there still an ongoing experiment? Yes, it turns off in beta 8
  • bug 1246108 (wasapi_stream_start) is fixed in b7
  • AsyncShutdown crashes are 1.9% of early b7 data
  • bug 1189715 (gfxContext::gfxContext, #6 top crash in b7, 1.4%) still happening in beta 8 although we though we had a fix in bug 1259810

Release

Overall rate: 1.0 – yellow

  • Trusteer crash bug 1255026 definitely decreasing on Windows, but the OS X signature continues to be high #16 or so on release? How bad is bad?
  • Flash game crash bug 1252152 has decreased noticeably last week

QE

Beta

  • 1262149 – Firefox users with OS X 10.11 and QuickTime 7.7.3 cannot playback video content requiring this video player and are prompted to use Safari instead. (all branches – not just beta)
  • I noticed with OS X 10.11, each time I restart (or maybe reboot) I am prompted to make Safari my default browser now (or later) There is no option to say “never ask me again”.

Roundtable

inquiry from sumo: will we go ahead with the plan to deprecate support for os x 10.6-10.8 and migrate those users to esr 45.1.0 instead of 46?
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1255589

Followup on thread about stub install alerting: who is the first line on-call for release issues?

  • liz to ask catlee and lawrence about this. relman, or releng?

Tracked bugs with no owners! Let’s triage on Tuesday since these can potentially block release.

Tracked bugs with no owners, for Thursday triage.

Question Time

rkent, there is no 64-bit version of TB 45 for Windows. It seems only 46+ but the next public will be 52. 🙁 Is there a possibility of compiling 45 in 64-bit?

  • Someone needs to work on the release engineering to figure out to enable those builds.

Help Wanted

  • Accessibility lead
  • Person comfortable (not necessarily technical experts) with Core type issues. Example, graphics to guide bug 1195947 Thunderbird hardware acceleration (HWA) issues to be resolved
