What’s going on this week in Firefox for Android Support

[Michael Verdi has an awesome post every week about what’s happening overall in SUMO for desktop, Android and Firefox OS. Check out the August 12thth, 2013 edition of what’s happening in SUMO].

Current release is Firefox 23 for Android which was released Tuesday August 6, 2013. Great release so far! No issues other than Android 4.3 issues which I blogged about last week (Google released Android 4.3 roughly two weeks ago).

Upcoming releases:

Firefox 24

It’s time to write articles for Firefox for 24 for Android! Here’s what needs to be written for Android in Firefox 24 (quick share, & NFC bump). We would like these articles to be written by the end of the day on Tuesday August 20th. Sign up on FF24 etherpad if you wish to help out with documenting quick share and NFC bump!

What’s going on this week in Firefox for Android Support

[Michael has an awesome post every week about what’s happening overall in SUMO for desktop, Android and Firefox OS. Check out the August 5th, 2013 edition of what’s happening in SUMO].

Current release is Firefox 23 for Android which was released last Tuesday August 6, 2013. Great release so far! There are some Android 4.3 issues (Google released Android 4.3 roughly a week ago!) which so far aren’t too major.

Upcoming releases:

Firefox 24

It’s research time! Check out the research thread for Firefox 24 and if we have missed a feature please add it to the thread. Thanks to yalam96, nyselvey, and Waka_Flocka_Flame for helping out with Android research so far.
Firefox 24 beta 1 comes out tomorrow Friday August 9, 2013 and there is a permissions bump (see research thread) so we’d like to finish that article today. It should be easy; it currently looks like we only have to document two new permissions: “record audio” and “control Near Field Communication.”. Let’s finish today Thursday 8 August 2013. Interested? Edit the following article and ping roland via email (rtanglao or IRC (rolandtanglao in #sumo)

What’s happening with Firefox for Android Support July 25, 2013

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Roland| Comments Off

Hello world. There’s a lot happening in the world of Firefox for Andoid in the SUMO (support.mozila.org) team and it’s not getting the exposure it deserves. So I am going to have a series of “What’s happening”posts. They will be happening at least once a week and will summarize what’s going on.

What’s going on this week in Firefox for Android Support

[Michael has an awesome post every week about what’s happening overall in SUMO for desktop, Android and Firefox OS. Check out the July 22, 2013 edition of what’s happening in SUMO].

Current release is Firefox 22 for Android: There are no major Firefox 22 for Android issues, thanks to everybody for making this release smooth and it’s great to see overall crashing and issues decreasing.

Upcoming releases:

Firefox 23

Are you quick and want to help? help us document the new feature: “Be able to modify your search default via the add-ons manager:” If you are interested email rtanglao AT mozilla.com or write the article!

Firefox 24

It’s help article day on Thursday i.e. Today July 25, 2013, help us research and do some easy edits!:
It’s time to research articles for Firefox 24 for Android. Thanks to Karen and Erin the Firefox for Android roadmap is accurate! Please use it for research: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Roadmap#Firefox_24:_Embracing_the_Ecosystem_.28Aurora.29
The big feature in 24 is our upcoming Android permission bump to enable some cool features: geolocation services, NFC bump and perhaps more. (why perhaps? because Firefox is on a 6 week release cycle which we call a “train” and sometimes we move features from one train to another e.g. from the FF24 train to the FF25 train).
