Platform

(there is a team-by-team goals breakdown, as well)

• [DONE] Javascript performance near or even with Chrome 5 on their benchmarks (within 20% on SS, 30% on V8), with substantial wins on our benchmarks. (Windows, in-browser.)
• [DONE] Hardware acceleration of video and other HTML and SVG content, as well as user interface, on by default for compatible hardware on all Tier-1 desktop and mobile platforms.
• [DONE] Fully support the WebGL 1.0 spec, with support turned on by default in a Firefox 4 beta on platforms that support OpenGL or OpenGL ES.
• [MISSED] security: zero reproducible high/crit > 30 days
• [DONE] Support multi-process Fennec.
• [DONE] Support Jetpacks running in separate processes and never blocking the Fennec UI. NOTE: jetpack team hasn't actually integrated this code yet, but it works in small test environments.

Layout

• 89 blockers in Layout+SVG+Video (before retriage)
• Reftest harness is currently not reliable for plugin-related tests; fixes will land soon.
