Chris Kitching

  • This week
    • bug 897772 – Got catapaulted into this bug. Still not entirely sure which direction it’s going to go in. Working on implementation of native encode/decode of JSON. Native decode implementation seemingly working, but causing absolutely every unit test to segfault (Some value of “working”). Unclear how to debug, since try doesn’t test debug builds and segfault doesn’t seem to occur locally. It IS somewhat faster, although the majority of the speedup is expected from the native encode anyway, which I’m yet to write.
    • bug 794981 – Dragging on longer than I’d hoped. Now essentially working, being thwarted by different types of nsString being used in different places in AndroidBridge. Generated code has no way to decide which such type to use. Seems to necessitate refactoring all callers to use a consistent flavour of string. Hopefully finishing up today.
    • bug 709230 – Still blocked on the above…
    • bug 904279 – This appeared. Initially thought to be (Yet another) regression from prior search config bug. Turns out to be a rather subtle bug that we just shipped. Whoops. Wrote an almost entirely unsuccessful patch to correct the issue (Seems my ability to reproduce this is somewhat lesser than Margaret’s). Looks like the multi-engine suggestion thing Brian N just mentioned might accidentially fix this anyway..
    • bug 892125/bug 892136 – Work continues – slowly for now – added missing JS helper script to dump needed information into Java on request, should now be straightforward to add UI to list addons and provide common configuration utilities. Remaining interesting part of this task is the addition of a system to parse the addon-defined xul files into Android preference screens. Hopefully will be less frantic to land than the last UI feature I added..
    • bug 895423 – Filed what is hopefully the final needed version of the patch for this one. Turns out Android styling was actually even more strange than I had first thought. I was presented with a Samsung Galaxy Ch@at to test on – this device is precisely as insane as its name suggests – found a bunch of weird edge cases in my patch making the icons not display correctly. Ended up essentially rewriting FaviconView. Icon display now consistent across all devices within easy reach from my desk. Pending review.
  • Next
    • Finish bug 794981, then bug 892125/bug 892136, followed by bug 709230 and bug 897772.
    • Next project – It was suggested that it’d be nice to get the Javadoc tool to work on the Fennec source code to produce something approximating documentation. Others are welcome to steal this.. Should be straightfowardish if you point it at the post-preprocessed code where applicable (Preliminary work suggested that the main problem with this was it getting confused by our preprocessed Java files. It’s also possible that bug 890586 blocks this…)

Round Table

User Advocacy

Tracking issues on Nexus Devices with Android 4.3. Currently we have roughly 3.8% of our user base on Android 4.3 (Compared to 35.8% on 4.1), meaning that 4.3 issues will continue to grow. Currently the only Nexus 10 rating on GP is a 1-star, but we will continue to track these reports.

Roland wrote a SUMO KB article for these issues: Firefox issues with Nexus 10 and Android 4.3

Feature Focus

Highlights

We moved about:home redesign to Fx26 for now. We also moved Push to Waiting Room/Need info since it’s currently in a holding pattern until background tasks are sorted out. There was a thread about WebRTC being ready to ship. It’s not but we need it to go to beta so we can get more testing and converge so we’re ready for Fx24 GA on 09/17. Also, wonderful job in general!

Round Table

User Advocacy

The Firefox 22 Sentiment Report is live.

Gearing up for 23, Beta feedback is good.

Firefox Release and Beta ratings on the Play store are the same, 4.33, with Release rising more rapidly than Beta. We are now in the interesting situation where our release product is more highly rated than Beta (mainly due to more users).

Chris Kitching

  • Performance
    • bug 896822 – Make tab thumbnail generation significantly faster – landed this morning.
    • bug 897123 – Improves page load time, particularly where Flash is involved, by some amount most likely above 1/22. Most likely landing soon.
  • Preferences overhaul
    • bug 895423 – Icons in search providers list too small. Patch due today.
    • bug 892113 – Dialog for managing installed search providers – awaiting review, but ostensibly complete. (Yay!)
    • bug 892125 – Creating add-ons page in settings – work ongoing. Seems to require the addition of a new helper script in JS.
  • Other stuff
    • bug 768667 – ActionBar for text selection – still playing ping-pong with the reviewers.
    • bug 788114 – Reading list intent – latest attempt got rejected – needs rewriting with a new approach. (Avoid loading the whole app)
    • bug 888086 – Making byte2hex in sync utils very slightly faster – almost but not quite entirely failed to upstream this. Will get round to doing the next iteration shortly..
  • Next

After completing the next iteration of the patches that are dragging on for a long time, I’ll be continuing with the preferences overhaul and performance improvement work. For performance, the most valuable next step seems to be attempting to get ProGuard working (Some progress in that regard – it builds now, but fails absolutely every unit test and crashes when you open the settings page. 😛 . It is, however, somewhat faster.)

Topics for This Week

PSA – About Home

After triaging the remaining bugs, it looks like the new About Home redesign is at risk for Fx25. More likely happening in Fx26. Besides the bug list itself, the long pole is getting a tablet design implemented.

PSA – Dynamic Snippets

Recent discussion around Dynamic Snippets have caused a “re-think” in the way we plan to support the feature. The core idea will now be to use add-ons to customize the UI, mainly in the Home page. Adding add-on support to the Home page is already part of our plan. The backend client/server parts that were part of the original Dynamic Snippet plan are going away.
