- Bugs filed by following the link on the product page will have [Play] in the whiteboard
- Fennec Native betas will have a weekly cadence after this week as with desktop, going to build no later than Wednesday for a Friday push
- We expect our next beta of Fennec Native to be multi-locale with the same 13 localizations as XUL Fennec previously
- We're now here in the schedule
- FF13 beta 4 will go-to-build today (5/15). We've asked engineering to continue working on tracked bugs, looking for the lowest risk mitigating fix for remaining tracked bugs
- The next 3.6 EOL checkpoint is 5/28 when we push out the last round of MUs
Add-ons

Stability
Overall concerns
- Top crashes
- List of top crashers increasing.
- Seem to be many issues that just get deferred because we can't find STR or don't understand the problem.
- Lots of new signatures over the last 4-6 mos, nothing happening.
- Need a formal strategy to get some of these worked.
Aurora
- Crashes tracking Fx14
- A couple of problems with AMD graphics cards bug 714320 and bug 700288 that we haven't been able to fix.
- bug 736695 - nsGenericElement::UnbindFromTree , when I open Customize Toolbar with Video DownloadHelper 4.9.8 installed. A problem for a while.
- bug 753248 - startup crash - silverlight issue on Mac 10.7.
Beta
- bug 704125 - spike in crashes for banco de brazil.
Release
- In preparation for 10.8, we're now watching for Mountain Lion top crashers
- bug 640904 - JSAutoEnterCompartment::enter. #2 crash on Fx12 with over 62K crashes in a 7 day period. Waiting for new version of add-on to get updated on AMO - need to escalate this.
- bug 572011 - Crash @ nsDiskCacheStreamIO::FlushBufferToFile - been around for a while and no progress
- bug 597260 - nsFileOutputStream::Write(char const*, unsigned int, unsigned int*) - another networking issue that has been around for while without progress.
