  • Garbage Collection
    • NOTE: We are aware there are many crashes in Nightly. We are working to stamp those out quickly. If the crash stats (and performance) are not

back in line by the week before uplift, we will disable GGC for this cycle. Note, b2g and mobile are still building non-ggc, so the non-ggc paths are still getting actively tested.

  • Front End and Other
    • bug 992998: Run jit-tests in spidermonkey builds again, bug 992998
    • bug 813366: Gracefully fail instead of crashing in some Yarr OOM situations
    • bug 878399: toString / toSource for asm.js modules and functions.

Layout (jet/dbaron)

<Read Only>

  • Speed: Made progress on the remaining issues for bug 931668 in 台北 two weeks ago. This eliminates the per-descendant cost of many (but not all) style changes of noninherited properties, though a bunch of "interesting" cases disable the optimization.
  • Speed: bug 950526 landed on inbound yesterday; this avoids reconstructing text runs for style changes to text frames that don't require this work
  • Test Coverage (for Speed): bug 964646 changed off-main-thread (OMT) Animations from having very little test coverage to actually having some decent test coverage, though more is still needed
  • New Web Feature: bug 985838 changed the syntax for CSS Custom Properties for Cascading Variables (a.k.a. CSS Variables) from a "var-" prefix to a "--" prefix, and bug 957833 enabled CSS variables by default for all release builds so that they should ship in Firefox 31 unless something changes

Media (jesup)

  • echo cancellation in getUserMedia bug 694814 is landing and bouncing for multiple b2g-emulator issues (none of which are bugs in the patches). See m.d.platform for discussion. tl;dr: b2g emulator sucks perf-wise and that messes up classes of tests.
    • emulator is an unending source of pain. Cost us most of a week for two people already on this alone
    • This will enable noise suppression by default as a trial.
  • Next steps are to refactor the MediaStreamGraph to change all the time units and reclock based on the output clock. padenot is working on this

Necko (dougt/jduell)

  • Necko will be reporting incomplete downloads as errors (bug 237623). This is so the Download Manager can detect incomplete downloads, but will affect other clients too.
  • The necko bits to make off-main-thread Websockets work are landed (bug 925623). Now we need the DOM work to make websockets in workers use it.

Performance (vladan/avih)

  • Decided (with gfx, others) to mostly ignore small OS X 10.6 regressions.
  • Addon manager: quicker startup block of addon compatibility check bug 760356
  • Telemetry dashboard: ability to see own jobs logs and data, added google analytics.
  • Stopped working and filing power usage bugs (took a ~month). Facebook uses more power on Firefox than other browsers bug 962594. How to address?
  • Talos profiling - still failing on windows. Still being worked on.
  • Session restore: talos test being finalized. Planning optimizations.
  • asyncCopy working on fully off main thread.
  • Async test errors: harness now treats uncaught async exceptions as errors, now fixing tests.
  • Working with fx team to unblock australis regressions (linux keyhole).
  • jmaher started filing regressions, big question: what to do about them? acceptance threshold, etc.

Seceng (grobinson)

<Read Only>

  • mozpkix, our new certificate validation library, is on in Nightly! Please consider helping us by testing it or reviewing the code. See the announcement on dev-tech-crypto for details.
  • Bug 971341, a nasty bug that prevented users from accessing pages with invalid CSP's, was fixed in Nightly and uplifted to Aurora and Beta.

Shumway (mbx)

WebAPI (overholt)

  • No update this week.

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

CritSmash (dbolter)

MemShrink (njn)

  • Kyle Huey, Ben Kelly, Andrew McCreight and Nathan Froyd did some great work tracking down and fixing some slow B2G leaks.

OrangeFactor (ryanvm)

  • Past week's OrangeFactor: 11.88 (Previous Week: 8.86).
  • Steady progress being made on Cedar getting mochitest-bc running in chunks with devtools in a separate test suite on all platforms. Hoping to get it in production by the end of the week.
  • 13 intermittent failures fixed in the last week - List - Thanks!.

Stability (kairo/bsmedberg)

  • Overall numbers look good for beta and release, the nightly and aurora issues are known and tracked.

11:01 cpeterson: ok
11:01 bsmedberg: KaiRo: you really don't need to ask me each week. If I have something, I'll have put it in the wiki.
11:02 Waldo: in living color
11:02 KaiRo: bsmedberg: ok
11:04 Pike: is everyone silent how it's supposed to be?

11:15 dveditz: I think dougt is exagerating
11:15 dougt: ?
11:16 dveditz: platform engineering mtg
11:16 dveditz: you were quoted as saying the pkix change is the scariest thing to land in Firefox in 10 years
11:16 dveditz: I think misquoted....
11:16 kbrosnan: SeaMonkey not spider [in comm-centrl]
11:16 dholbert: cpeterson, ^
11:17 Waldo: and yet we're still supporting it [Windows XP] a year longer :-\ or so I remember
11:17 dveditz: if it [mozkpix] really breaks the web we would find it in nightly/aurora
11:17 dveditz: if it makes it past that it will break edge cases (possibly big ones) at most
11:18 khuey: I think the real concern is what vulnerabilities we will introduce
