Releases/Firefox 11/Final Signoffs

This page will track declaring the latest mozilla-beta build as the final in this cycle and starting the build off of the mozilla-release repository.

Please note that issues found in the final moments of the beta period may still require us to rebuild before release

Focus Areas

Tracking Details

Startup Crashes:

• bug 715401 – Firefox Crash @ nsCanvasRenderingContext2DAzure::ClearRect with Yahoo Toolbar
  • This is our highest priority issue ahead of release
  • Bas has an idea for how to forward fix this, but we'd really only consider it if we had a repro case. We're still trying to find a backout to perform before Friday.
  • Can we push anything through an add-on hotfix prior to release targeting Yahoo Toolbar users?

• bug 711656 – Firefox 11.0a1 Crash in TextStageManager::AddStagesForSubrect with Intel GMA X4500HD, 4500MHD, and HD Graphics up to 8.15.10.2141
  • Latest patch landed on mozilla-central doesn't appear to have fixed the issue, so this will likely go unfixed on FF11

• bug 716391 – Firefox Startup crash @ je_free | xul.dll@0xbb...f | nsAppShell::`. deleting destructor(unsigned int) with various proxies
  • Not a FF11 regression, but it's a shame we didn't find the root cause

Blocklist Opportunities:

• bug 715744 – DLL block request: BExternal.dll
  • BExternal.dll is strongly represented in bug 715757 and bug 721645
  • Pinged Ehsan to land on m-c and m-a today
  • Jorge let us know that this DLL is from older versions of Babylon, we're trying to find out which ones currently

• bug 722538 – block AMD Radeon HD 6290/6300/6310/6320 for DIRECT2D
  • Can still be performed post-release
  • Difficult to push because we can't test with just our beta users, and we don't have a repro case

Other:

• bug 730285 – No update channel is found after restoring the OS to a previous point.
  • This is of note because next week is Patch Tuesday
