Releases/Firefox 35.0b4/BuildNotes

Fennec 35.0b4

Checklist

In weeks that have multiple Firefox betas we generally do not build a second Fennec beta alongside it. Pay careful attention to the go to build given to make sure you do the right thing.

• (RelMan) Ship the l10n milestone
• (RelMan) Submit to Ship It
• Post-release tasks
• Mark as shipped

Issues

• repacks 1 and 3 failed because hg timeout cloning mozilla-beta; job restarted.
