Being responsible for this particular regression, I can say that neither is it at all related to the other bugs mentioned, nor can it reasonably be interpreted as a sign of decreasing attention to quality: the patch I landed triggered a preexisting bug in a way that was pretty much unforeseeable and, because we didn't know about it, wasn't covered by our test suite. While the result was particularly bad - and I apologize for that - I don't see what I could've done better to catch it before landing. Also keep in mind that we have hundreds of CPU hours of automated tests running before changes land in mozilla-central and can become part of Nightly. If you add new functionality without proper tests, shame on you; if you did your due diligence and still have the bad luck of introducing a new bug - be lucky that we have the Nightly channel. (From four or so years of experience running Nightly as my main browser, I can say that every now and again things seem to come to a head, with multiple annoying issues occurring in a short time frame. I'm pretty sure that that's always [or almost always] purely by chance, and reading too much into it isn't warranted. Neither does it make sense to pat ourselves on the shoulder too much in the stretches of unusual stability we also have on the Nightly channel.) till Gavin > > On Tue, Aug 18, 2015 at 2:35 PM, Daniel Stenberg <dan...@haxx.se> wrote: > > On Mon, 17 Aug 2015, Dirkjan Ochtman wrote: > > > >> I have an anecdote, and was wondering if others can corroborate: it > >> seems to me that Nightly's quality has been getting worse recently > >> (this is on latest OS X, rMBP). > > > > > >> 2. 1193796 -- Unable to access Google properties with Firefox Nightly > > > > > > This confuses me greatly.
