One affected family of sites are American Airlines & US Airways. I can't load any of the following sites, and as a result I was unable to checkin for some recent flights in Firefox Nightly: https://aa.com/ https://www.aa.com/ https://aavacations.com/ https://www.usairways.com/ https://checkin.usairways.com/ It may be (as mentioned in the text quoted above) that these sites are visited at a low rate, but when users do need to visit them (e.g. for flight checkin), it's pretty high-priority that they work. Do we have tech evang plans to tell these sites & any other prominent affected sites about the issue & pressure them to fix it? If they're not even aware of the problem, and we end up being the first mover here (say, because other browsers decide to punt for a release or two), I'd hate for us to get the reputation as the Browser Which You Can't Rely On To Check In For Your Flights. (We've had tech evang bugs filed on American & US Airways for 6 months: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1141604 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1142703 but I'm not aware of any actual outreach that's happened, aside from me sending American a twitter-ping, which more than likely ended up in their /dev/null.) ~Daniel _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
