Topics for This Week

  • bug 862602 has landed. This helps us reduce memory usage by unlocking images far away from the visible viewport so that they don't have to stay in memory. Watch out for regressions where images don't appear, or take too long to show up - please file bugs blocking bug 862602.
  • UI changes in new about:home (bug 917394). Now in Nightly, uplifting to Aurora soon.

Friends of the Mobile Team

Give a shoutout/thanks to people for helping fix and test bugs. Make sure friends also get awarded a badge.

  • Michael Boon fixed bug 791475 - Android updater notification should provide more information like progress
  • Capella landed a fix to improve about:config (bug 770101) and a StringUtils method to provide readable URL / title string (bug 913214)
  • Lots of new people (mostly students) showing up in bugs - be sure to help them out! :)
