Major Topics for This Week

Fx14 Endgame

With Beta 7 looking to be our last "full week" beta, we tried to be mostly code frozen yesterday (Jun12) even though the official code freeze date is Friday (Jun15). We have 3 release blockers

Fx16 and Fx15 Uplifts

Product, Release, UX and Dev are working on the desired Fx15 feature set using the Roadmap as a base. Some features will be higher priority than others. Lower priority features with higher risks might not make the cut for uplift to Aurora (Fx15). The safest thing to do is ask for approval if you are working on a Roadmap feature and the drivers will handle making the decision.

SUMO

Mobile

(Just read the wiki today please) We had a restart of the meetup last week and put together some great ideas for a release party in July--we should have a celebration in every MozSpace next month :)

Beta is a 4-star product in Google Play, with Beta6 getting 43 five-star written reviews.

Themes: "Chrome beta what? I'm a huge firefox fan but this used to suck but now it's faster than chrome on my gfs gnex. Good work mozilla"

"Onex On x One works fine, actually better than the Chrome beta"

"Ausumm Ausum made my work so much easier"

"Anything to do with computers gets me hot but this is a whole new level of computer pleasure"

"Superb I'm very satisfied. downloading is very stable even in low connection."

"Excellent If you use Firefox on your PC this is the browser for you. I love the way it Syncs tabs and book marks with my pc. I like the navigation and appearance too."

Low reviews themes: text selection & copy/paste; google search looks old

A couple of questions on SUMO about blocked tablets (we improved documentation to fix): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions?tagged=mobile

We also updated documentation to address the prerequisite uninstallation of sync'ed aurora/beta/nightly before syncing the final release version.

User requests: import bookmarks from another mobile browser

Next week: need to finalize supported devices list, how to change change language article, and make final clarifications in the tablet getting started article.
