Win7 M2 and Mbc tests were OOMing frequently at shutdown because too many DOM windows were open. This was due to a combination of: (a) multiple badly written tests, (b) multiple social API leaks, (c) multiple devtool leaks. Bug 932898 will improve our shutdown leak detection. Bug 932900 will (if implemented) prevent some of these leaks(?). Is there anything else we can do to prevent this from happening again? Nick We should add some checks that hiddenWindow doesn't contain anything unexpected when closing FF. The DOM tree and window scope should hopefully look the sama as when starting FF. -Olli ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Re: Mozilla development bootcamp
One thing that I have noticed after talking to many new contributors is that, people are often overwhelmed by the large amount of the docs. They look for quick results when they are starting off. The idea of videos is great, but it would also help if we could have something like a quick start page, that could outline the only basic steps like: 1. The bootstrap command: wget [ bootstrap.py] 2. Clone mozilla-central: hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ 3. Build the source: ./mach build Once someone completes going through that, he will (most probably) have a working build running. We can then point them to a second part of the quick start that just says about creating a patch, like: 1. Create a new patch: hg qnew [patchName] 2. Make your changes to the source and build with mach. 3. Update your patch file with: hg qref 4. Upload to Bugzilla for review. While this isn't the complete docs per se, but reducing the size will get more people to read and try out these steps. We can always have a link to the accompanying video guide and the MDN page with each step.
