We shouldn't hold back on providing a link to 64-bit Dev Edition users en
masse. I worry that running an A/B test will slow down the full release
without telling us much of anything that we don't already know.

The user agent string says if the system is 64-bit, so sniffing is already
possible.

Ben, can you file the bug in Mozilla.org::webdev to get the link added to
the download page?

Thanks,
Jared

+Clarkbw, who runs Dev Edition.

Expansion of 64 bit was on hold pending the release of 47, where we had some 
critical sandboxing issues fixed and (conveniently) the Widevine CDM also hit 
that timeframe for video support.

It’s an interesting idea to hit developers, who are a bit savvier. We assume 
elimination of small OOM and JS performance gains, security overall will be a 
tradeoff.

We need more users in-field before we start rolling win64 out by default to 
normal people. DevEdition is a potentially compelling hook. We were going to 
offer 64 selectively on the download page to some users in an A/B test to try 
to get numbers up. Ideally, we’d be able to sniff who could run it, since we 
don’t have a stub installer.

If we get a net reduction in OOMs with 64-bit it seems to me we should make
that the default download link.

In any case, we're not showing a 64-bit link anywhere now.  Who should I
pester or where should I file a bug to get that fixed?

Thanks.

32-bit developer edition?

2016-06-02 Thread Ben Kelly 
Hi all,

I noticed recently that all of the available download links for dev edition
point to the 32-bit installer.  Is there a reason for this?

Given we are talking about how to upgrade existing users to 64-bit it would
seem good to update the download links for new installs.

Thanks.
