tl;dr for stakeholders
- Anti-virus issues yet again, every 7 weeks (e.g.FF60 was Kaspersky, FF61 is Avast), painful and needless anti-virus issues IMHO AV vendors need to address this :-) <--- Anti-virus issues like this affect Chrome as well as Firefox
Week 1 (June 26-July 2, 2018)
- 29June2018 bug 1472127 - Update to Firefox 61.0 killed all my bookmarks and also the backups are unreadable <-- unclear how common this is but will probably have a 61.0.1 the week of july 3 for this.
- 28June2018 bug 1471672#c18 ---> Normandy recipe to flip the TLS 1.3 pref rolled out, waiting for Avast to fix their software before we flip the pref back to turning TLS 1.3 on
- 28June2018 bug 1468892#c60 <--- "As of now Avast does appear to have patched the problem. Running with Avast update 180628-08 both FF61.0 and FF62.0b3 are not experiencing any problems. Both are making TLS 1.3 connections with bleepingcomputer.com, www.theregister.co.uk, and tls13.crypto.mozilla.org. Sorry to cause you folks so much trouble... 1/2 ;-)" <--- so Avast fixed it?!? To Be Confirmed
- 27June2018 bug 1468892 - SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG with Avast interpreting TLS 1.3 connections incorrectly ---> Avast (and probably AVG) has a TLS bug that is affecting Firefox <--- hooray a*ti virus, NOT :-)
- bug 1471672 - Rollout a Normandy recipe that turns off (pref'able) TLS 1.3 until Avast rolls out a fix for bug 1468892
- Avast / AVG workaround until Avast fixes their bug was documented by super fabulous SUMO volunteer, Philipp M:
