* Marco Bonardo landed the livemarks re-write - this was a big chunk of work which has plenty of benefits, including no more synchronous IO, and less entanglement with the rest of places ({{bug|613588}})
* Paolo Amadini has flipped the default value of the "load tabs on demand" pref, which should help with responsiveness during session restores and memory use for large profiles ({{bug|711193}})
* Frank Yan's about:home revision that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago is very close to landing, just need to sort out coordination issues with the server-side snippets service ({{bug|711157}})
* Silent update: Brian landed the remaining patches for the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Silent_Update_OS_Dialogs UAC dialog work].

* Livemarks are now async thanks to Marco ({{bug|613588}})
* There was an increase in negative feedback regarding Firefox 11 beta relative to Firefox 10 beta on SUMO. Cheng and Taras are investigating.
* Olli and Jan cooked up about:ccdump addon for assist with finding leaks.

* Bill landed incremental GC this week, {{bug|719492}}. Most users will not benefit from incremental GC until Bill finishes up handling frequent “corner cases” that end up disabling incremental GC.
* Avi ported his smoothscroll logic to C++, Jared pushed it to the UX branch ({{bug|206438}}. If you are interested in fluid scrolling, give it a try, play with acceleration prefs to help us find optimal values.

* Fennec "maple" builds are getting usable, and we could probably use more technical eyes on them.
** http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-maple-android/
** This is "off-main-thread-compositing", or OMTC.
** Probably not ready for every-day use, but already much more usable on anything with an Adreno GPU (Nexus One, HTC Desire HD, etc).
** Known issues: Some jankiness, some WebGL issues (i.e. upside-down on some devices), some checkerboarding issues.
** File whatever bugs you find in Core :: Graphics, and put "MAPLE" in the whiteboard.
** Note: This testing is only needed on Android devices; desktop should be unaffected by these changes.
