* We're going to be changing/removing a few goals in order for us to focus on crashes on a massive scale.  Friday evening, we formed a small team to kill [http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/query/query?product=Firefox&version=Firefox%3A3.5.3&platform=windows&date=&range_value=1&range_unit=weeks&query_search=signature&query_type=exact&query=&do_query=1 top crashers].  Over the next several weeks we plan to dramatically reduce those crashes.
