== What is this? ==
This is a ''first draft'' of a prioritized & partially ranked list of the features for Firefox that we would like to work on over the next several quarterly releases.  This list ''is not final'', and will be revised as needed upon review & discussion with engineering, product marketing, and other stakeholders.   
This is a ''first draft'' of a prioritized & partially ranked list of the features for Firefox that we would like to work on over the next several quarterly releases.  This list ''is not final'', and will be revised as needed upon review & discussion with engineering, product marketing, and other stakeholders.   
Priority is the P#, while the rank (within that section of that priority) is in parentheses.  So P1 Rank 1 looks like "P1 (1)".


Each Feature that is actively being planned or worked on will be linked to an individual [[Feature_Page_Structure|Feature page]], and release targets will be tracked through the [[Firefox/Flight Tracking|Flight Tracking]] page.
Each Feature that is actively being planned or worked on will be linked to an individual [[Feature_Page_Structure|Feature page]], and release targets will be tracked through the [[Firefox/Flight Tracking|Flight Tracking]] page.


== Rank ordered P1s ==
== Developer Tools ==
P1s are items that need to be started ASAP.
Roadmap: [[DevTools/Roadmap|Dev Tools]]
 
These items are rank ordered within their sub-list (Platform, Firefox, Fennec, etc.)

== P2s ==
As yet unranked.  P2 in this case are items that can or must be started after P1s.  Still stuff we want to get done in 2011.
Starred P2s are tabled P1s that may be promoted back to the P1 list.

Draft-template-image.png THIS PAGE IS A WORKING DRAFT Pencil-emoji U270F-gray.png
The page may be difficult to navigate, and some information on its subject might be incomplete and/or evolving rapidly.
If you have any questions or ideas, please add them as a new topic on the discussion page.

This is a first draft of a prioritized & partially ranked list of the features for Firefox that we would like to work on over the next several quarterly releases. This list is not final, and will be revised as needed upon review & discussion with engineering, product marketing, and other stakeholders.

Each Feature that is actively being planned or worked on will be linked to an individual Feature page, and release targets will be tracked through the Flight Tracking page.
