    • Gijs
      • Looking at data from automigration experiment. It has issues:
        • Sync data is 0, because of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1307382
          • Patch on autoland repo, will request uplift once it sticks.
          • This case is currently hitting the 'password change/addition' path because sync stores credentials
          • From this we can still infer current number of people who sign up to sync as <= password hits
            • which is significantly less than people who modify bookmarks, it seems
        • Bookmarks data is very high
        • The number of people who see the notification bar 3 separate days and then get undo disabled there because they don't interact with the notification bar seems very low (<5%)
          • Number of different ideas as to why that might be.
            • something's broken! (like the sync case)
              • not sure what. One way of figuring this out would be to add telemetry for how often we show the notification bar, which would at least give data as to whether we're showing it.
            • session restore
              • at least a 1/3 of a random 100,000 count beta sample from the longitudinal set on sql.tmo used automatic session restore at least once
                • could be restore after crashes or add-on install or beta updates (which are released every 3.5 days!)
                • we don't seem to have better telemetry on this. Ugh.
            • different homepages
              • afaict, no telemetry on this, only on fennec. Ugh.
            • people stop using firefox and never get 'round to seeing that bar 3 times in a row
              • not helped by it racing the first time: if unlucky, no bar on your initial about:home because the migration finishes after about:home loads
              • also not helped by data lag from telemetry.
        • Tentative data suggests people from IE more likely to ditch auto-imported data (undo migration) whereas people from Chrome are more likely to keep (not enough data to tell for Safari and Edge)
          • Which seems plausible.
        • Yet Another Reason why telemetry "doesn't work" for the funnelcake experiment on release
          • tmo only has opt-in data. By the first startup the user obviously hasn't opted in, and so there's no telemetry. Also there'll be sample bias in any other telemetry.
            • This doesn't affect beta/aurora/nightly as much because opt-in is the default on pre-release channels.
          • Looks like we'll need to use a spark job to deal with telemetry from the funnelcake
            • Why bother? Well, we don't disable the firstrun pages on release. So it'll be interesting to see if the number of users that use sync there is much higher or not, which will help us evaluate what we need to address before going to release.
      • Going to have to try to work out how to deal with sync. It's Complicated.
      • Continuing work to improve (auto)migration:
      • Other bugs:
    • Jared
      • Location bar autocomplete and search autocomplete shadow work
        • Worked on patches to fix this through binding changes as well as a different patch to change the widget code
        • Jim Mathies requested that this not get changed through widget and Dao doesn't want this changed through binding changes
      • Theme work started on Cedar twig
        • Landed baseline support for defining a theme in the webextension manifest
        • Working on supporting background images for in-content pages
    • Mike

          • specifically, there are:
            • issues with bluetooth keyboards
            • generic question of how assertive we should be about opening keyboard on win8 (this + previous is why we're disabling on win8(.1))
            • issues with how we hide/reopen the keyboard when switching between input fields (totally broken for soft-keyboard "Tab" presses, visually not compelling for all other cases (flicker))
      • No progress on Edge stuff, also due to getting sidetracked...
      • Still trying to get to the URL bar things as well...

        • Had to revert that specifically for beforeunload dialogs
        • Now all fixed on 44+, but that was most of last week gone
      • Edge Migration:
        • Landed reading list things on Nightly
          • Kind of want to write some kind of test for the generic module I wrote. Need to think/experiment with how to do that because just dumping in an ESE db in the main mozilla-central repo won't work
        • Also need to update bookmarks to use this generic code
          • Need to investigate exactly how parent/child relations work in that table so we import folders correctly...
        • Also suspect we'll need to tell the user to quit Edge before migrating
          • Still need to file a bug about that
      • Tab Groups
        • Landed fix for safe mode use of the migration path, already requested aurora uplift
        • QA linked up an issue that wasn't previously in the bug tree that I'd therefore missed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1231135
          • Need to ensure the migration page keeps focus. Not trivial because of how the "you've upgraded" or "welcome to windows 10" pages get added (dynamically after session restore finishes, I'm fairly sure). Need to look into this more.

        • This will make building on Windows very very very fast because you won't need to compile anything anymore
          • This will make development on my Surface Pro a lot better
          • Likely good for UX and other not-primarily-engineering folks, too.
            • [philipp] That sounds amazing! How does it work?
              • Nick's blogpost is probably the best intro. The Windows portion hasn't been reviewed yet, but it should work today on OS X.
