Actions from Last Week

• ally/jen to come back with an answer on how we feel about AitC as a blocker to the FF15 apps work
  • AitC is a blocker for FF15. The plan is to have FF15 stand up all the pieces of the apps ecosystem and AitC is an integral part of that. In FF16, the fit and finish for K9o will be done. Any questions ping Jen at jarguello@mozilla.com.
• matt/alex to figure out why our adobe blocklist didn't eliminate the reader bustage

Feedback Summary

Desktop

Firefox 12 issues summary:

We currently have a 5% increase in issues over Firefox 11. This seems to be a combination of issues including:

Firefox 12 is slow - Thread was originally about a gfx card issue, but I think it turned into a pile on thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926621 http://input.mozilla.org/en-US/opinion/2948190 http://input.mozilla.org/en-US/opinion/2948146

Firefox 12 consumes too much memory - Another thread that has spiked but is probably a combination of issues. [1] [2] [3]

Facebook games won't load - Slight spike over 11. Still investigating. [4] [5]

Foxit Reader causing Hotmail issues: Foxit is aware of the issue. They have a fix in the works. We've updated all the threads and are seeing a decrease in the reports. [6] [7]

PDF Issues on Mac - After blocklist we are seeing a dramatic decrease in reports. I've verified the blocklist works. We have updated all the threads and created documentation. Reader update https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/775819 [8]

Firefox 12 incorrectly caching pages - Bug filed - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748647 [9]

FF12 praise summary, down 5% from FF11:

fast: [10] [11]

stable: [12] [13]
