* #1: Spike in Linux shutdown hangs around 10-Feb. Filed {{bug|974004}} to investigate. Possibly media-related?
* #2: {{bug|881413}} - Windows debug crash, often during test_update.js @ TimerThread::Run(). needinfo? request pending for 2 weeks. Will likely disable test_update.js on Windows debug soon due to lack of progress.
* B2G mochitest failures are frequently in the top 10. Have already disabled some problematic tests and will probably keep doing so until things improve.

** Compiler (JIT)
*** Removed init time of selfhosting. Not visible due to extra bug.
*** {{bug|929374}} - Enabled Ion and TI chrome prefs. Simple patch but some annoying dependencies to get tbpl green: bug 970645, bug 832437, bug 931861.
** Garbage Collection
*** {{bug|961314 }} - Landed, backed out upgrade of hazard analysis builds to new setup compatible with newer webrtc code. Re-fixed, pending review.
** Front End and Other
*** {{bug|972657}} - Moved the "script too small to compress?" check earlier. This appears to have caused 3--10% wins on Talos's "Paint" and "Tab Animation Test" tests on Windows and Linux, surprisingly enough.
*** {{bug|936740}} - Inline Math.ceil in the last remaining case (input is a double, output is an integer)

* TLS False Start, a performance optimization for TLS connections, is now enabled in Firefox 28 Beta and later. This optimization is only enabled for sites that use non-RC4 TLS_ECDHE_*/TLS_DHE_* cipher suites and which support the NPN extension. This includes Twitter, Google, and CloudFlare-hosted servers. There is some compatibility risk to this feature, though we believe we have mitigated all of it with the aforementioned restrictions. Please report any compatibility issues in the "Core :: Security: PSM" component ASAP. {{bug|942729}}
* insanity::pkix, the new certificate verification library replacing NSS's certificate verification, landed, pref'd-off (security.use_insanity_verification=false). It is expected to be enabled in a couple of weeks, after OCSP support is added and more testing is done. This was also uplifted to Aurora 29 to make it easier for Certificate Authorities to test it one release before it is enabled. If you don't care about your own HTTPS security and you play with this, please report any issues, particularly compatibility issues, in the "Core :: Security: PSM" component ASAP. {{bug|878932}}
* New certificate verification logic for signed packaged apps, based on insanity::pkix, landed in Nightly 30 and will probably be uplifted to Aurora 29 later this week. This enables (will enable, after some non-cert-related issues are resolved) packaged apps from Mozilla Marketplace to be installed in Desktop Firefox. {{bug|896620}}
* Some cases where we were doing unnecessary OCSP fetching, potentially causing main-thread I/O and other badness, were fixed for Firefox 28 and later. You shouldn't notice anything with these changes, but Firefox is getting faster in this respect. {{bug|950129}}, {{bug|950240}}.

* Past week's OrangeFactor: [http://brasstacks.mozilla.com/orangefactor/ 6.57] (Previous Week: 12.02).
* Have begun disabling more tests/suites that haven't had any visible progress towards being fixed.
* Recent spike in Linux test timeouts was traced to a recent change in the slaves being used on our AWS instances. Change was reverted and reason for increased timeouts is being investigated.
* 19 intermittent failures fixed in the last week - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?keywords_type=allwords&keywords=intermittent-failure%2C%20&resolution=FIXED&o1=greaterthan&v1=2014-02-11&f1=cf_last_resolved&query_format=advanced&list_id=9477923 List] - Thanks!.

* memory poisoning on free() landed in Saturday's nightly.
** We will continue to make improvements to the poisoning system, such as using the reserved memory address.
** Encouragement to poison more things including poison on GC and JITcode buffers on free
* [http://arewestableyet.com/ Overall data] looks OK for anything other than Firefox desktop Nightly and Beta channels.
** Nightly:
*** {{bug|973207}} (HTTP connection) was high-volume but should be fixed in today's nightly.
*** {{bug|973971}} is a Mac-specific crash with Zimbra and other websites, should be fixed for tomorrow's nightly.
** Beta:
*** {{bug|973344}} is a crash in nsTextEditorState::SetValue with botched disabling of &lt;input type=number&gt; that caused crash rates to double, should be fixed for this week's beta.
* On a positive note, Firefox 28 Beta for Android is looking *really* good in crash rates, probably largely due to some GFX refactoring in that version.

<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;">
13:54 davidb: lmandel: I don't think I can join the dev meeting live, I have readonly updates for a11y and CritSmash (you can call out the latter if you like)
13:54 davidb: also, hi
13:57 elan: lmandel: dbl booked with a android sync ui pow wow but blassey has it covered as usual
13:57 elan: (I just won't see your smiling faces)
14:01 KaiRo: bsmedberg: do you want to voice your pieces of the stability update?
14:01 KaiRo has something to say as well there today
14:01 bsmedberg: yeah, kinda mixes with davidb's update
14:01 KaiRo: bsmedberg: ok
14:01 KaiRo: cpeterso_: so, we have stability voice update today, first part with bsmedberg, second with me
14:02 cpeterso_: ok
14:02 davidb: bsmedberg: you can give my update or modify or whatever makes sense
14:02 davidb: (you filed that bug :) )
14:03 jesup: RyanVM: looking at the bug
14:03 catlee: RyanVM: b2g mochitests still flaky even after reverting ec2 instance types?
14:04 lmandel: davidb, elan: Thanks
14:04 davidb nods
14:05 bmoss: jesup: thanks randall
14:08 overholt: someone needs to mute
14:08 blassey: warp core: can you mute?
14:08 blassey: dougt: ^
14:08 overholt: I think they did 'cause it's better now
14:10 dougt: blassey: I DO NOT DO YOUR BIDDING
14:10 RyanVM: jesup: I see bug 853356 landed on m-c around the time the hangs started
14:10 firebot: Bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=853356 nor, --, 1.3 C3/1.4 S3(31jan), ayang, RESO FIXED, [B2G getUserMedia] Display camera/ microphone permission acquisition prompt
14:11 overholt: blassey, Jon Hylands
14:11 bsmedberg: blassey: rvitillo for desktop
14:11 dougt: blassey: what is that software that compresses the APK?
14:12 blassey: pngquant
14:12 overholt: excellent use of "voluntold", milan
14:12 blassey: lossy png compression
14:12 kbrosnan: questions at the end?
14:13 dveditz: who is speaking?
14:13 bmoss: milan
14:13 bsmedberg: milan, was dougt
14:13 dveditz: thx (I recognize dougt, my boss)
14:13 bmoss: ;-)
14:14 dougt: blassey: what PNGs does it reduce?
14:14 dougt: like all of the PNGs in our application?
14:14 blassey: dougt: we manually ran it on the png assets for android
14:15 jesup: jduell: concern about the impact on mobile... Can they be grouped to avoid lots of different timers firing and spinning up radios?
14:15 kbrosnan: dougt: more or less http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Preparing_images_for_upload#PNG_tips
14:16 dveditz: blassey: isn't lossy png compression "use jpg instead"?
14:16 lmandel: kbrosnan: Questions during the roundtable
14:16 RyanVM: jesup: i'm retriggering ASAN m-oth runs on m-c around the time of the regression as well to try and narrow the range a bit
14:17 laura: I can supply ponies.
14:17 blassey: dveditz: maybe..
14:17 davidb: offline ponies
14:17 dougt: overholt: we have someone working on web crypto.
14:17 jesup: RyanVM: thanks
14:17 overholt: dougt, I know
14:17 laura: davidb: that's the only kind I have
14:17 dougt: yeah, so maybe it satisfies everything they need
14:17 kbrosnan: dveditz: where lossy means choping to 8 bits png instead of using some of the larger formats
14:17 overholt: dougt, I put Richard in touch with them
14:17 overholt: yep
14:17 dougt: but I suspect it doens't
14:17 davidb: laura: the best kind
14:17 dougt: overholt: awesome.  cc' me
14:18 jduell: jesup: keepalive is handled by OS's TCP stack--if it's smart it could batch them, but I'm not sure if any do
14:18 dougt: bsmedberg: awesome.
14:18 davidb: bsmedberg++
14:18 dveditz: or not detect "attacks" so much as users stumbling across attackable situations
14:18 bsmedberg: go give dmajor your love
14:19 dveditz: (it's a very good thing!)
14:19 bsmedberg: dveditz: depends on how carefully the attack is constructed, yeah
14:19 dveditz: true, there are dumb attackers
14:19 jesup: jduell: Bummer.  Worth monitoring.  Keeping the radio active is a big power issue
14:19 jesup: blassey: ^
14:20 jduell: yeah it could be worth turning it off on mobile, at least after the 1st minute.
14:20 jesup: One TCP pinging on 10min is no prob.  If there are 100.... or more... at random intervals
14:20 jesup: Or you could make it depend on the number of sockets in this mode perhaps
14:20 blassey: interesting
14:21 kbrosnan: Linux has support in release
14:21 kbrosnan: for gstreamer-ugly
14:21 kbrosnan: though support for gstreamer 1.0 was added
