Here's a quick look at what we'll be focusing on for the Fx36 Nightly Cycle:
* Tablet Refresh: Substantial work continued during the Fx35 cycle. Testing occurred on Nightly using the setting to enable the new tablet UI for 7" and 10" tablets. We are ready to start evaluating the feature to ride the trains in Fx36. Obviously, we'll know more as the cycle continues, but at this point, we are looking to release something in Fx36. For more information, see the project page [1]. * Reducing APK Size: Large APK size has been linked to failures to install (network cutting out) and lack of desire to install (no space left on device). We are looking at two sub-projects to help reduce APK size: Minifying JavaScript in the Omnijar bundle and Splitting the APK based on Device and Android API level. Both of these projects made some progress in Fx35, but frequently got blocked or de-prioritized against other work. We'll continue to push forward in the Fx36 cycle. See the project page for more info [2] * Videocasting: We will start working on support for a few new hardware dongles, such as the Matchstick device [3], in the Fx36 cycle. * Experimentation and Exploration: We are focusing on a few new projects (Password Improvements and Management, Task Continuity and Collaboration) that affect Firefox on Android, Desktop and even other platforms. Some prototyping and discussions are starting, like the one for Password Improvements [4]. Look for some work to start in the Fx36 cycle. * Miscellaneous: We have a fairly large funnel/backlog [5] and some of those projects/ideas may find their way into Fx36. Please refer to the Roadmap [6] for more details and status updates throughout the cycle.
