It's pretty quite down here, even though I know you've been doing amazing work to support this update despite the flood of spam questions in our forum.
Just a note, I just updated our release wiki to include the dot releases info, known incident & known issues. Please flag to me if you have anything to add, or directly edit the wikipage if you have an account and comfortable in doing so.
Thanks, y'all!

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/128.0.2/releasenotes/ (various bug fixes)
I checked https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/ and there was no Firefox 128.0.1 listed.
We only release the Android version on 128.0.1. It's documented on the wiki.

I've been helping someone on X with a MS Surface Pro X device (with an SQ1 ARM processor) that seem to have some issues with graphics (unless software rendering is enabled, which isn't very performant according to the user).
I can find some forum posts about this, but I can't see anything on Bugzilla. Do I need to create one or am I searching for the wrong thing?
Thanks
Hi,
I've been helping someone on X with a MS Surface Pro X device (with an SQ1 ARM processor) that seem to have some issues with graphics (unless software rendering is enabled, which isn't very performant according to the user).

I find that when searching Bugzilla, use as simple search keywords as possible then sort the search results by the most recent date by clicking the "Updated" column twice to sort the bug list so that the newest date is at the top. Then work your way down the list. ;)
It seems updating the Surface Pro's graphics drivers can fix the graphics problem ("I have manually been able to update to the latest Xe drivers (Version 31.0.101.5330, Date 2/14/2024) which has resolved the issue."). But the devs are also looking into creating a block-list entry for this old driver version. That should help until everyone can update to the latest Intel drivers.
Also Intel must have released some newer drivers since February so hopefully that still fixes it. After updating the gfx drivers, they should reset gfx.webrender.software to false & confirm the issue doesn't happen anymore.
Hey Isaac, I think I tracked it down for you. Btw nice work helping out that user on X. :)
