Major Topics for This Week

Monitoring Beta

Now that Fx14 Beta is in the Market we are monitoring feedback and crash-stats closely. We'll keep monitoring the stability and feedback throughout the beta period.

Tablet UI Milestones

In response to the feedback we have been getting from Fx14 Beta, we are looking into ways to get some native traction for tablets. We know that in order to support tablets with Native Fennec, work needs to happen on the UI and on Flash support. Some short-term planning has been happening to see if we can start landing small, well scoped, patches into Fx15. There is no guarantee that anything would be uplifted into Fx14.

Socorro/Breakpad/Stability

Hightlights:

SUMO

• All docs are ready for L10n
• Feedback has slowed to ~20 reviews per day
• For beta2 (sat-tuesday) the large % of low reviews are for crashes and instability
• For issues also reported on SUMO, I'm adding [sumo] to the bugs
• For tablets, users really want flash and speed followed by desktop view and tab switching (low reviews on tablet have slowed to 18% of all reviews for Beta)
