Feedback Summary

  • Recent (last two weeks) spike in users hitting bug 479520 (ß turning into ss) I think maybe a popular site has switched over to the ß-spelling?
  • A red dropdown saying "System update required-a critical software update is needed for your browser. Click allow to update" but Firefox is blocking it. What can we do?
  • AirTel (an Indian ISP) is hijacking users with google.com home pages. The page they're hijacking it with/to just got a bug and is a page of errors...

Press & Public Reactions

Questions, Comments and Highlights

  • L10n (Axel)
    • l10n is good for Firefox 5, Desktop and Mobile.
    • This took a few bold steps for both Desktop and Mobile. The impact is pretty contained on desktop, though for mobile, the tougher visual constraints on mobile make the call tougher. But we should be good.
    • Good news is that Serbian is back on the desktop, so the ADUs there get not only a secure version, but also one that finally got all the garbage fixed that snuck in due to bad interactions with tools.
  • Releng (catlee)
    • Ok to build 5.0 with final filenames? For previous .0 releases we've built e.g. 4.0rc1, 4.0rc2 and then renamed to the final name.
    • Do we need index.html files on the mirrors to hide the files before releasing?
    • Where should 5.0 beta users be updated to?
    • Should 4.0 updates to 5.0 be automatic, or major updates?
