Topics for This Week

Memory Regression

Kats tracked down two issues with AWSY (bug 971001 and bug 971694). He tracked down the cause of bug 971001 and the fix landed. Memory issue is still open.

Eideticker Performance Regressions

Pageload regressions seem to be gone. William has addressed some issues with the devices and we have pageload performance back to where it was previously. Startup regressions are still present and we need to keep looking at ways to get improve performance. Dirty startup is affected by bug 971477 and we can get that working.

nalexander

• PTO this Friday
• Finally landed fixes for the Proguard + stale .class file build issues (bug 946083).
• Removed fennec_ids.txt from Robocop (bug 969922). Don’t refer to elements by name (like “gecko_layout”), always refer to them by id (like org.mozilla.gecko.R.gecko_layout). Bonus: compilation errors when you screw up! Super easy to refactor with an IDE.
• Removed almost all reflection from Robocop bug 938821. Please don’t re-introduce it.
• Work in progress on moving Robocop to mobile/android/tests/browser/robocop and simplifying Robocop’s build (bug 938659)

  • blocked on several spun off mozbuild tickets bug 971265, bug 971272, bug 971525
  • if you want to guinea pig:
    • apply the patches from bug 853045
    • |mach build-backend|
    • |mach build|
    • |mach package|
    • add the 5 Eclipse projects in $OBJDIR/android_eclipse to Eclipe
    • refresh everything, clean build everything in Eclipse
    • wait for it to stop churning, which can take a while
    • enjoy code browsing and refactoring

BLassey

• bug 923228 – GeckoScreenOrientationListener is invoked hundreds of times during page load, two eideticker runs show a 220-300ms start up win (usual caveats of noise on eideticker)
• bug 963505 – iframes should load with low network priority, the idea is to load main content before we load ads. I don’t have data to show this is actually helping or not though.
• working on bug 971101 build and publish geckoview example. Blocked on ant not being installed on the builders. Not sure what I want to do there.

Topics for This Week

Adblock Plus

We have several reports about extremely slow startup that have been tied back to Adblock Plus. Profiling shows the problem to be creating regexes of a very large list of ad URL patterns. We have reached out to the developers and they are aware of the issue. They do not have an ETA on when it might be fixed. Mozilla is comtemplating various ways of trying to handle the issue. As a start, Adblock Plus is being removed from the Featured Add-ons.

Performance Work

We continue to improve pageload performance. Eideticker shows significant improvements to date. Work on startup improvements continue. We are being vigalant for regressions. Memory improvements have recently started to land too. Please keep brainstorming potential ways to improve Firefox!

Home Panel Sprint

Lots of progress over the last two days. Some prototypes have been created and show the system working! Expect a wrap-up post soon.

Topics for This Week

Startup Performance

Last week we talked about the ongoing work to improve pageload performance. We also started looking at startup profiles and filed a meta bug for making improvements. Several bugs have been filed and are in-progress. Please take a read this mailing post to learn how you can do your own profiling or at least look over the posted profiles.

Crashes

Wanted to point out some crashes that could use a look. (1) NPE in LayerView.setZoomConstraints (bug 936008) (2) ConcurrentModificationException in NotificationHelper.clearAll (needs a bug).

Welcome Eugen Sawin

Topics for This Week

Rating Dip

We have been investigating a ratings dip that appears to have started around Dec 10th 2013. Currently, we think this could be related to three main issues:

1. a Google UX change in the Play Store and
2. Slow performance on mid to low end devices.
3. No Flash support on KitKat

The first is not really in our control, but if we can feedback to Google, we probably should. #2 is within our control and we have been working on improving pageload performance. We need to make sure we include mid and low end devices when profiling/testing. Some of the data we have been gathering shows that regions, like Brazil, where we are growing, are the same regions where we are being rated poorly due to performance. Those regions also seem to be using mid to low end devices. The third we may have a solution for, glandium and snorp are investigating.

Pageload Performance

As mentioned, we have a lot of work happening related to improving our pageload performance. Many of the bugs came from profiling, Java and Gecko. Many are small wins, but we have some decent wins related to proxy settings (bug 952799 and bug 957037) and throbber (bug 917896). The throbber change is our single biggest pageload win so far.

Stuff I don’t have time for update:

Help wanted for bug 951865. Build system patch has f+, pretty basic review comments. If somebody could push it over the line, that would help GeckoView development.

If somebody cares about alternate build systems/better Android resource management/integration with IntelliJ, I pushed some rough hacks at building with Gradle (must be 1.9!) to https://github.com/ncalexan/gecko-dev/commits/nalexander/gradle

You need to build and package, and then remove $OBJDIR/mobile/android/base/generated/org/mozilla/gecko/{R,Manifest}.java to prevent build errors. Easy to add this exclusion to the geckoview/build.gradle file.

There are hard-coded paths, all sorts of nastiness. It was just proof-of-concept, and indeed, I was able to build a working Fennec APK using gradle.

Real update:

Full steam ahead on Firefox Accounts for Android. I landed bug 955808 and bug 956816. Prereqs for Firefox Account + Sync login state machine. rnewman did a heroic first review of said state machine and preliminary UX on Monday night before his PTO. rnewman landed bug 956442 and bug 956935 for Sync migration. Goal is to push a try build with preliminary UX to design team and QA this Friday.

Definitely not readonly today!

• l10n single-locale repacks are still burning, even after significant work to un-hork them. bug 923950 is blocked by releng configuration issue tracked by bug 951238. I’m concerned that I don’t understand what releases this issue is effecting, and how much work uplift will be (it’s definitely non-trivial). I can work around this if we have a time crunch for uplift (I think this is affecting Aurora as well?) but it’s work that I don’t have much time to do.

• |mach projectify| rebased patch is up at bug 853045. Testers wanted. It’s Eclipse only, but the remnants of IntelliJ are there — patches welcome. Patches for coding style defaults even more welcome.

• <drums>Firefox Accounts on 29 death march begins.</drums> Landed final two bugs for Engineering Milestone on elm yesterday (bug 918012 and bug 899217). Cross-platform testing today and tomorrow. Meeting with product and UX to discuss native UI tomorrow AM.

Topics for This Week

Nightly got borked

Multi-locale builds ended up with zero locales packaged, not even en-US. Needless to say, this is bad. Fix landed on mozilla-central last night (thanks glandium) but AaronMT noticed the updates didn’t get completely fixed. Those are being fixed now (thanks bhearsum).

Locale Switching

Richard landed the core of the locale switching code. He has an add-on you can play with to test it out. We plan on making a full Settings UI for switching in the future.

Quick Share

The parts of the new multi-service Quick Share feature that landed in Fx28 will be disabled for the Aurora merge. We don’t have enough of the feature ready to justify shipping what is ready.

Cleanup Work

With merge happening in a few days, MFinkle got on a soapbox to push for cleaning up know regressions and tweaks to existing features. Let’s try to minimize Aurora uplifts by fixing stuff now.

Page Load Competitiveness

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxYMKXqNUPU to see how bad things can look. MFinkle has some experimental patches for preloading/prefetching. BLassey noted that we have regressed pageload on Eideticker significantly over the last year, and that we’re not updating Chrome on those tests.

UITest Framework

Should be landing today (bug 910859), barring a quick review. Was fixing an intermittent (bug 938969) which has passed on try. Documentation for the framework is mostly completed and available at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android/UITest

• ckitching landed his ProGuard work! – bug 913985 and bug 709230
