Product Status Updates
Firefox 4

- Everyone really dug deep to get this turned around quickly, including work on weekends. If you see someone who helped, hug them.
- As of this morning, 88 hard blockers remain, overall.
- 50 of these require beta coverage, so beta 10 will not be our last beta
Firefox 3.6 and 3.5
- We have builds of Firefox 3.6.14 and 3.5.17 as of Friday night
- Thanks to everyone that landed blockers, we got pretty great last-minute convergence
- Plan to go to beta on 2011-01-26, though it depends on QA signoff
- "Scary" update dialog for 3.0 users went live last Tuesday
- We will be assessing the impact this week
Mobile Firefox
- Wrapping up beta 4
