Patience patience said the man,
patience patience I can't understand...

Considering that Adobe *just* released Flash 10.1, and considering that they were not actually ready to release Flash 10.1, but were forced to because of a security bug, it's understandable that Mozilla would want to make sure that this version will be up to snuff. Also, most people who actually *care* about it are already using the RC builds, and are certainly not running Chrome or Safari. ;)
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Fullscreen video controls on ve3d videos such as http://ve3d.ign.com/videos/69204/PC/Por ... ut-Trailer have not worked in any 3.6.4 RC's (I've only just checked this out and found OOPP on or off isn't the issue and 3.6.3 and earlier work fine., I had thought ve3d was broken)

It may be a ve3d issue exposed by 3.6.4, but ve3d have said they don't have time to investigate it until after E3.

It's obviously very close...

But I wonder what's going to happen to approval1.9.2.4 list?

I am not seeing a problem with Flash 10.1 on trunk or 3.6.4.


My mistake, I'd forgotten about the individual plugin override and I was only changing dom.ipc.plugins.enabled

it works in 3.6,4 with OOPP for flash off.
it fails with OOPP for flash on.

I'm running Flash 10.1 final and 3.6.4 b7 and I agree, the play/pause control doesn't work while in fullscreen mode, but work final in normal mode.

What concerns me the most is that sqlLite had a tiny update since 3.6.22 that fixes a scenario that during a rollback, if the app stops hard (power off) the database would be corrupt. It's a fairly niche scenario but very concerning as it would fubar all your Firefox data. I'm hoping they update sqlLite before 3.6.4 goes final.

You can read the changelog entry here: http://www.sqlite.org/changes.html

I guess Ci7's patience is wearing thin. I, on the other hand, don't mind the delays since I can use the latest candidate build of 3.6.4. I'd rather have a stable 3.6.4 release with all those delays than a "rushed" and buggy 3.6.4 release.

um, I do use Chrome 6.0 (latest dev build) and Safari 5.0 along with latest FF 3.6.4 build, patrickjdempsey.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a build 8 for 3.6.4. Guess I'll wait til bug 572417 gets fixed, then the final FF 3.6.4 release may come out next week (or two).

Are there new blockers found in Build #7?
or is 3.6.4 scheduled to be released today as the latest notes indicated?

The situation is not very good for developers, though. 3.6.4 will only accept one-two bugfixes.
All other potential bugfixes will have to wait and wait and wait... without any testing.

Firefox 3.5.10 / Firefox 3.6.4

* Would like to release on Thursday, depends on the investigation of crash-stats irregularity. Shipping on Thursday is at-risk
* Discussing the crash-stats irregularity and how it relates to our 3.6.4 release decision
* You can use this query to see OOPP issues that are not necessarily blocking but may flare up after 3.5.4's release: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cg ... tchlist%5D

Obviously that was a typo and I meant 3.6.4 rather than 3.5.4 #-o
