Major Topics for This Week

ARMv6

We are getting ready to start limited ARMv6 support from Fx16. Expanding the current minimum requirements is important and will require Dev and QA support.

Feedback Solicitation

Fx16b2 will introduce feedback solicitation. This should start pushing more feedback into input.mozilla.org, along with some device info. Community reaction to the prompt will be worth watching as well.
