Top Issues

  • showing bookmarks in awesomebar results by default is seen as a privacy issue -- people don't seem to understand what they're seeing
  • some users are experiencing locked profiles after Major Update; seems to be related to Norton 360

temporary build bots
running at bsmedberg's home, upload not nifty. All builds reporting to Mozilla-l10n, locale-specific steps report to l10n tinderbox pages, too. No compare-locales yet. Builds uploaded on latest-mozilla-central-l10n ftp

  • only 6 out of 14 in tier 2
  • new locales in 3.0.2 landing on l10n-central soon (+8)
