We're in RC week for Fx81. What's the status of this?

Flags: needinfo?(victoria)
Flags: needinfo?(odvarko)
Flags: needinfo?(dreams)

Ryan: thanks for catching this.

  1. This should now be superseded and think it should be closed (WONTFIX?) when we land the removal of this "What's New" panel entirely:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1664821

  2. I presume it's far too last-minute to consider uplifting for 81 (changes to the panel text and/or the removal of it) anyway.

Honza and Ryan: do you both agree?

I'm building an RC2 either later today or tomorrow depending on the availability of the patches being tracked for it. I guess the question is whether or not we're OK with shipping 81 with the same content as 80 if we WONTFIX this? Anyway, I'd consider text-only changes to be pretty low-risk and would be OK taking them in the RC respin if it's ready in time. I wouldn't block the build on it, though.

The What's New panel is being removed in Bug 1664821, closing all open bugs related to it.

To filter out all the bugmail linked to this change, filter on the following uuid "cea43cc0-f855-11ea-8b6e-0800200c9a66".

Thank you for the quick pref flip for 81, jdescottes.

RyanVM, this will be on its way shortly. Thanks for helping include it, not a huge deal to me if we can't for some reason, though.

Bug 1658452 - Hide and disable the DevTools What's New panel

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

  • User impact if declined: Users will see an outdated What's New panel with content only relevant for FF80.
    It will also show a VPN section which is not supposed to be displayed in all regions.

(note that this should directly be uplifted to 81, as the panel is being fully removed in mozilla central)

  • Is this code covered by automated tests?: No
  • Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: No
  • Needs manual test from QE?: No
  • If yes, steps to reproduce:
  • List of other uplifts needed: None
  • Risk to taking this patch: Low
  • Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): This is only flipping two preferences:
  • one to hide the panel by default
  • one to prevent users from enabling it in the options
  • String changes made/needed:
