    • page loader tests works for android, needs review bug 599494
  • browser-chrome - need some attention, carryover from last week
    • new test files bug 489163 [NO PATCH] (should have been bug 489160)
    • 4 bugs left in order to run green:
      • bug 598957 - browser_preferences_basic panning is busted [FIXED]
      • bug 598962 - Viewport browser-chrome tests failures (fix underway!)

  • [mochitest: green]
    • bug 590248 and bug 587646 account for 60% of known mochitest failures on n900!, no progress on these two bugs?! Still no traction on this - WEEK #6, can we get 6 weeks with nobody looking at these?
    • considering running a small subset of passing tests for android mochitests so we have results that people will use.

Other
