  • In Firefox 4 beta 7 users on MacOS 10.5 (Leopard) cannot submit crash reports, and all crashes appear to be hangs/unresponsive Firefox. (bug 599475).

  • SUMO - any word on when the Firefox menu will be finalized on all platforms? Basically I'm trying to figure out when we can confidently update support articles. Will this be possible before RC?
