A modest Bugzilla keyword format proposal

October 24, 2011 · Add Comment
I just sent an email to dev-planning proposing a new keyword format. Nothing earth-shattering, but I think the upside is huge. I’ll reproduce it here, but feel free to comment in the dev-planning thread. Proposal #(namespace)/..../(leafnode keyword) That’s it, pretty simple. Examples: #relman/triage/needs-info #relman/triage/defer-to-group #ux/papercuts/user-control #ux/papercuts/useful-error-messages #crashkill/watching #crashkill/blocklist-candidate #crashkill/3rd-party/adobe #crashkill/3rd-party/adobe/contacted #gfx/bugkill/too-old #gfx/bugkill/bitrot …etc Why? “#” [...]

I was in Firefox Aurora bug triage and came across bug 692506. The bug is a SVG regression that shipped in Firefox 7. Even though we do our best, with the amount of code out there on the web some issues are bound to slip through. Luckily it’s not serious enough or widely used enough [...]

Postponing the Firefox 3.6.x → 7.0 advertised update

October 6, 2011 · Add Comment
The previously scheduled 3.6 → 7.0.1 advertised update is now postponed while we make sure our server capacity is sufficient for release. Once the investigation is complete I will communicate a new date well in advance so all stakeholders can plan accordingly. I apologize for any churn this may have caused.

July 29, 2011 · Add Comment
Do you use wiki pages to track things? Tired of copy and pasting bugzilla queries and bug information? Me too. I got fed up one day and decided to do something about it and the result is mediawiki-bugzilla. What is mediawiki-bugzilla? It is a server-side MediaWiki extension that provides read-only access to the Bugzilla REST [...]

Why are there no Firefox 5.0.1 and 3.6.19 automatic updates for Windows and Linux?

July 12, 2011 · 3 Comments
This newsgroup discussion inspired me to talk about Firefox 5.0.1 and 3.6.19, the situation / trade-offs encountered, and our ultimate decision process. First, some background. We test pre-release versions of Apple’s latest OS, Mac OS X Lion (10.7). Our users also test on their own and we see their crash reports in our crash reporting [...]

A small Bugzilla improvement

June 15, 2011 · Add Comment
With the recent Bugzilla 4.0 rollout on bugzilla.mozilla.org comes a small but useful usability improvement. It’s so small you may not have noticed (I wrote it but didn’t notice for weeks!), so I decided to blog about it. The bug I filed and fixed was: Bug 585802 – Change the cc/user autocomplete (and backend) usermatching [...]
