Firefox 47 Release and Firefox iOS 4.0

In London, Mozlondon, we had a session on creating a SUMO Release Report a few weeks after major updates to Mozilla products. This post will be the first to include testimonials from users and submissions from users in the community to make it unique to SUMO. With the intention to highlight all of the work that the community comes to accomplish together, the user testimonials, feedback, copious issues found, brought to attention and solved, knowledge base articles created, and collaborated on, as well as article translations to so many languages and organized social media this report shows how much we need your help. Core Community Members and new ones are equally as important. We have highlighted the issues that were and are actively being tracked down to improve Firefox and other Mozilla products.

We have lots of ways to contribute, from Support to Social to PR, the ways you can help shape our communications program and tell the world about Mozilla are endless. For more information: [https://goo.gl/NwxLJF]

Top Twitter Posts

This version we removed the tag summary and are currently working on items that translate to more specific categories. Not working will be removed and more will be added. However taking a deep dive in the top categories for outbound messages to Mozilla Open Source product users this what we found.

“Not working” is associated with these suggested troubleshooting steps and categories: antivirus was mentioned 3 times, malware was mentioned once, trying a Firefox Refresh 1, hanging 1, Trying Safe mode 1, and Kaspersky 1, changing a Firefox setting was mentioned once, and a more complicated website issue was asked to troubleshoot in the forums. This can be concluded to be some of the most common troubleshooting steps for Firefox for Desktop described here: http://mzl.la/16zLrEU

“Crashes” is associated with outbound troubleshooting that say check out how to ttp://mzl.la/14A6XM2 or go to the support forum 50/50 of the time.
