Re: Can we make a plan to retire Universal Mac builds?

I don’t think we can do this until we stop supporting Mac OS X 10.6. Last time we calculated percentage of users, this was still over 15%. I don’t think that very many of them would be running 64-bit, either. 10.7 has that problem as well, but it is a very small percentage of users. Syd Polk

Re: Can we make a plan to retire Universal Mac builds?

Just got number from Brendan Colloran. On 2/15/15, there were 14772800 active users using x86_64 on Mac for FF, and 224400 using x86. x86 then is 1.5% of the active users. Seems like a safe bet to drop 32-bit support. Syd Polk sp...@mozilla.com +1-512-905-9904 irc: sydpolk > On Aug 6, 2

Re: Intent to deprecate: MacOS 10.6-10.8 support

Firefox usage, but 10.7 and 10.8 were almost gone. I do, however, think that supporting 10.6 is a heavy, heavy burden, as its C++ compiler is truly ancient. Just opinion, no recommendations here. Syd Polk sp...@mozilla.com +1-512-905-9904 irc: sydpolk > On Mar 10, 2016, at 17:17, Tre

Re: Is MOZ_SHARK still used?

We recently ran numbers on our user base (like about 3 weeks ago), and found that 10.10, 10.9 and 10.6 all had greater than 10% share of our Mac user base. 10.6 was still close to 19%. Syd Polk sp...@mozilla.com +1-512-905-9904 irc: sydpolk > On Apr 2, 2015, at 17:45, Mike Hommey wr
