Firefox 37 beta2 to beta3
Once more, this beta is impressive in term of number of changesets. The highlight of this beta is the landing of the EME API. Fortunately, as they are isolated, the impact should be minimal on the release. We also enabled the Flash protected mode. 102 changesets 217 files changed 7009 insertions 2041 deletions ExtensionOccurrences cpp70 h60 js15 webidl10 html9 build9 java5 css5 xul4 mn4 jsm4...

Firefox 37 beta1 to beta2
Instead of the classical 6 weeks, the 37 cycle is going to be only 5 weeks. In this beta 2, we continued the work started during the 36 cycle. We landed fixes for MSE or image processing.

Firefox 36 beta10 to rc
For the RC build, we landed a few last minutes changes. We disabled <meta referrer> because of a last minute issue, we landed a compatibility fix for addons and, last but not least, some graphic crash fixes. Note that a RC2 has been build from the same source code in order to tackle the AMD CPU bug (see comment #22). 11 changesets 32 files changed...

Firefox 36 beta9 to beta10

Firefox 36 beta8 to beta9
Just this once, we built a beta 9 for mobile and the Desktop & Mobile beta have been built from different changes (69a8d311ddd6 for mobile). We disabled D2D 1.1 to experiment the effect on the crash rate. We also stopped the Flash protected mode experiment. Finally, we landed some patches to fix regressions on image diplay. 24 changesets 37 files changed 518 insertions 191 deletions...

Firefox 36 beta7 to beta8
Unlike beta 7, with Youtube proposing Flash to 36 users (instead of MSE), this beta is proposed to Windows users. In this beta, we fixes some other crashes but also improved the search under Fennec. 31 changesets 51 files changed 769 insertions 465 deletions ExtensionOccurrences js19 cpp13 py5 java3 jsm2 h2 build2 xml1 properties1 ini1 in1 ModuleOccurrences toolkit16 mobile12 dom9 browser4 python3 image2 netwerk1 modules1...

Firefox 36 beta6 to beta7
In this beta, we disabled MSE. The feature was not ready for the release channel. The work on this feature will continue in aurora (currently, 37). In the meantime, some various crashers have been fixed. Note that, for this beta, Windows updates have not been enabled for our users (only GNU/Linux and Mac OS X) because Youtube is proposed MSE videos for 36 beta users....
