Contents

Notices / Schedule

  • MSVC 2010 today.

  • Firefox 10 shipping today (rrrt@mozilla.com for broken websites)
    • If you see any fallout, please notify rrrt@mozilla.org (Rapid Release Response Team)

Firefox Development

  • New Tab Page (bug 455553): Little bit of a bumpy landing, but it’s landed now, still preffed-off by default. There are several followup issues to fix, but we think it’s ready to enable by default on trunk, and so we’ll do that after the merge.

  • Line breaks in tooltips (bug 358452): long standing HTML spec compliance issue, now FIXED for Firefox.
  • Silent update
    • Add-ons default to compatible ships today in Firefox 10

    • Windows UAC service rides the train to Aurora

Firefox Developer Tools

  • Firebug 1.10 is restartless and lazily initialized.

  • Page Inspector in general release Firefox 10
  • (inaudible) Initial Debugger UI and Protocol landing SOON

Performance

  • Snappy is transitioning from identifying issues to fixing issues. Good stuff coming.

  • CC + GC are the most well-known causes of pauses in Firefox. Olli is landing huge cycle collector improvements (half of the patches landed so far), bug 705582, bug 717500. If that doesn’t solve all CC problems by Tuesday, Andrew is standing by with bug 710496 to limit how often CC can run. These improvements have a good chance of showing up in Firefox 12.
  • about:jank indicated that laggy sessions are primarily caused by our direct2d accelerated drawing code, bug 721273. Turning off graphics acceleration made things a lot less slow (Options/Advanced/use hardware acceleration). It you experience lots of lag in your sessions (on youtube, blogs with high quality backgrounds, etc) please try about:jank. This requires running a very recent nightly.
    • Install the extension, go to about:jank, browse around, then refresh about:jank. In the case of gfx lag, DrawThebesLayers shows up on top.
  • Benoit’s profiler works well on Mac now, Windows support may be as early as this week.
  • Telemetry histograms should now survive restarts (so we can do shutdown telemetry, etc), bug 707320.
    • edit: this had to be backed out due to startup crashes. :(
  • Working on session restore issues this week.

GFX

  • bug 720428 – Quartz canvas should be lots faster in today’s build.

JS

Layout

  • No update

Video

  • Nothing to report

DOM

  • New DOM bindings starting to take shape. A group of DOM team members met in Paris last week to start up the third and largest stage of the new DOM bindings work. This work is being tracked here

WebAPI

Services team working on support for “remote events”. I.e. ability to get notifications even if you’re not on website.

Network

  • Networking team is in SF this week, drop by and say hi if you’d like.

  • Working to deploy node.js to test machines so we can land SPDY automated tests. This is the last thing we need to do before we try enabling SPDY by default.

Identity

Identity work will see Mozilla storing user data on Mozilla servers, so it’s important to highlight these two posts (by Mitchell and Ben, respectively):

Spec for BrowserID DOM API is well under way, ready for feedback from DOM/WebAPI team:

Plugins

  • Bug 90268, content ownership of plugins, should land today.

Mobile

  • ICS plugin support is waiting for a mozconfig update to land. Should be in for tomorrow’s nightly

  • tile painting is in on trunk
    • it is a regression in terms of checkerboarding ATM

    • will uplift to aurora and beta when the regression is resolved
  • final decision for UA String has been made (for 11) after many gyrations

Performance

GFX

  • The Azure-Thebes wrapper has landed in mozilla-central, preffed off.

    • This is the work required to get us using the new 2D API developed as part of the Azure project without changing our Thebes-using code.

    • This will get us more performance and flexibility in the long run.
    • Right now, it’s only on Windows Vista and 7, though that is going to change over the next few weeks.
    • We need testers!
      • If you’re using Windows Vista or 7 with hardware acceleration, create and set the boolean pref gfx.content.azure.enabled to true, and start reporting bugs!

Notices / Schedule

  • Firefox 10 beta 2 went out to the beta channel last Friday

    • Thanks to QA and RelEng to sliding it in there between holidays. Awesome work!
  • We’re still tracking issues for a possible 9.0.2

    • You can see them @ https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_9/RRRT

    • Note we are doing a staggered / slow rollout
      • We were manual-update only initially. This is why < 3 million people got 9.0 instead of 9.0.1

      • We unthrottled automatic updates for the past week (only offering to 10% of Fx checking for updates)
      • Now that we are at ~15 million 9.0.1 users we have turned off automatic updates again for a bit to look at data
      • If you see any news articles about slow Firefox 9 uptake, please email press or release-drivers so we can let the author know what is really going on
      • Probably going to do something similar for releases in the future as well, more details will be sent to release-drivers
  • We aren’t in the Amazon Appstore anymore, and we missed the holiday season for the Kindle Fire (boo). Details are in bug 713777
  • Next source migration is 2012-01-31

OOM Linker Issue on Windows

Summary of where we are:

  • Hit Bug 709193 over the weekend.

  • After investigating, determined that we were running out of address space in the linker.
  • Backed out some recent additions (SPDY and Graphite) to get libxul size down a bit and reopen the tree under restricted rules.
  • Removed some code that’s not in the critical path from libxul.

Where we’re going:

  • Remove enough code from libxul to tide us over (might be here already, might not).

  • Stand up 32 bit compilers on 64 bit operating systems to get another GB of address space.

  • We turned off updates for a couple of hours last night due to addons.mozilla.com being down in order to prevent incorrect add-on compatibility warnings prior to updating.

  • We’re looking into initial 3.6 uptake data. More info later in the week.
  • FF9 Beta 5 go-to-build tonight on IRC. May be later than usual due to the email outage and buttoning things up. While I have everyone, here are the three bugs that we’d definitely like to take action on before building:
    • Need to make a decision on bug 705572 with relation to Kindle Fire support in FF9.

    • Need help backing out bug 679961.
    • If possible, coming to a decision on whether we can take a low-risk fix for bug 702111.
    • Lastly, we’d like to blocklist vksaver in bug 708000 so that we have the proper amount of time to test.
  • FF9 sign-offs are next week! Please bring any last minute concerns to our attention at the 2PM PT Channel Meeting in Warp Core today.

    • Blog post by Taras with more details.
    • Meetings rescheduled for Thurs, 11am PDT

GFX

JS

  • Landed ObjShrink, which will reduce memory consumption of objects, make them faster to initialize. This is an important piece of our long-term performance plan.

Layout

  • Landed a feature nsIFrameLoader::clipSubdocuments that lets you create <browser>/<iframe> elements where the document isn’t clipped to the bounds of the <iframe> element; the <iframe> element defines the CSS viewport for the subdocument, but content outside the element’s viewport will render outside the <iframe>. This is mainly for the new mobile browser, but could be useful for other things. bug 699351

Video

  • cpearce has basically finished the work on full-screen; looking for a new project. Currently looking into mobile video performance.

  • Tim Terriberry and Jean-Marc Valin have basically finished work on the Opus audio codec for now. It’s making good progress through the IETF. Jean-Marc is working on improving the encoder a bit more. Tim is ramping up research for a new video codec.

DOM

WebAPI

Network

  • SPDY has landed (bug 528288), is in nightly builds, pref’d off (network.http.spdy.enabled).

  • High-res timers for Windows have landed (bug 676349).
  • SSL thread removal (bug 674147) landed with SSL handshake latency improvements. This also allows multiple SSL handshakes to complete in parallel (previously, SSL handshakes were effectively serialized).

Plugins

  • bug 90268 – moving plugins to content is blocked on the pandora homepage not loading. Internal debugging has been unfruitful, so we’re trying to get an engineering contact at pandora to help debug the issue.

  • Work has restarted in cooperation with Adobe on an asynchronous drawing API for NPAPI with acceleration. This will hopefully allow us to get rid of windowed plugins (on Windows) which should help with Windows event race conditions and plugin stability issues.

Mobile

  • In the process of merging birch to mozilla-central

    • Our initial goal is for this to be Android only, but in order to accomplish that goal, we’re going to also implement OMTC on OS X.

      • We expect most of the fundamental issues to be cross-platform, and development on OS X is easier than Android. But a releasable product on Android is our only goal for this work.
    • We plan to use Helgrind on OS X to detect thread issues, which may need some work from the Valgrind team.
    • We will also likely need some help from the A-team in developing a general browser usage test suite.
      • A sort of browser usage fuzzing, to detect edge cases that break down with OMTC.

JS

  • The tracejit is history; RyanVM has closed about five bazillion bugs (~300ish?) that were relevant only to the tracejit.
  • The tracejit has been given an honorable discharge:

    • It’s been replaced by JM+TI, and removing the tracer will help simplify things, which speeds along further perf improvements.

    • Let us know if you see any bits left, there’s still some cleanup going on.

Layout

  • font size inflation for mobile landed: see blog post. Feedback requested (see blog post) on how it interacts with individual Web pages (i.e., whether it’s picking the right things to make larger and the right things not to make larger)

DOM

WebAPI

  • Progress on telephony. Hope to have basic dialing by the end of the week

  • Sending/receiving SMS landed for android
  • Lots of progress on IndexedDB. Getting close to “done”

Network

  • Hopefully landing a number of NSS and SSL/TLS changes today. Should be good for performance and some changes are pre-requisites for SPDY.

  • Hopefully landing SPDY (pref’d off) tomorrow.
