Discussion Items

Project Status

CrashKill [tomcat/marcia]

Accessibility Status Update [marco]

• Firefox 4
  • Perf bugs bug 566103, bug 571532 and bug 541618 landed late last week. We're working through some slight regressions/crashers that are now showing up like bug 571459 and bug 571246.
  • Also expecting another perf boost from bug 572394. This is currently in review.
  • Overall, Firefox 4 will be noticeably faster for both Windows and Linux users using assistive technologies. page load times, updates on heavily dynamic pages etc.
  • Note that much of this didn't make alpha 5, but will be in the next release (beta1?) and is currently being dog-fed on the nightlies.
• Firefox 3.6.4 build 7 is good to go from my end, as was to be expected.
