== Terminology ==
* ''feature complete'' means that all of the required Gecko API hooks are complete and being called; the UI needn't be finalized, but it should be there and should be at least functional in limited terms so that alpha testers can explore the corners.
* ''feature frozen'' means that all feature work is complete, and most presentation (moving buttons, changing strings) work is done but revisions will be allowed based on feedback
* ''string complete'' means that all points in the UI that require strings have some content; this content can still be revised based on feedback
* ''string frozen'' means that all strings are final and available for l10n
