  • [acreskey] If you’ve experienced Android problems under network change or poor networks, let me know or add to this bug. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1879387 So far the biggest issue seems to be that “Pull to refresh” is disabled again in Firefox for Android

  • [acreskey] FYI, Performance Team has an OKR about full pageload performance benchmark that runs the entire network stack

  • (greg) Networking components have been updated: FTP removed, Proxy added.

  • H3 upload speed

    • [kershaw]

  • [valentin] jschanck: Hi all, I plan to enable the X25519+Kyber768 key agreement mechanism for TLS 1.3 over TCP on the desktop Nightly channel on Monday. This is the first step in our migration to post-quantum cryptography, and I think it's (very!) important. However, we may see some negative performance impact on the tails due to Kyber's large public keys (1184 bytes sent by the client) and ciphertexts (1088 bytes sent by the server). Please reach out if you hear any reports of breakage or performance issues. The mechanism can be disabled by setting security.tls.enable_kyber to false. (dev-platform, Bug 1878725)

  • [valentin] Bug 1824218 - Captive portal login tab does not get closed automatically

    • I happened to look through this report (even though I don’t have a lot of experience with the UI parts of captive-portal). I think this patch should reduce the number of reports from users who’s windows don’t close because of the race.
