==== Aurora (9) ====
* We got some really nice capabilities uplifted from m-c to Aurora yesterday. Here's a taste.
** "Type Inference" giving us up to 44% performance improvements on AWFY
** Twitter Search
** "Two-finger swipe for Lion" for back and forward navigation on Mac 10.7 Lion.
** "New Lion-ized theme for Lion" toolbars, icons, buttons, etc.
** Tweaks to the Windows theme for Win7 consistency
** You can now create bookmarks by dragging text URLs to bookmarks toolbar
** Now you can drag a link from another app and just drop it on Firefox and it will load
** "Always restore pinned tabs" No matter what the users settings for restoring tabs (or not) the App Tabs should always be restored.
** "Improve responsiveness of history removals"  deleting large numbers of history items from the Library view used to hang the browser forever. now it is much faster.
** "Add support for fave icons on jump list uri entries"  Windows 7 JumpLists, a pretty important windows integration feature, just got a lot better. Right click on Firefox in the taskbar and see the beautiful icon-ified jumplist popup.
** "should be able to reset a resized textarea"  Users can resize text areas in Firefox. If you resize a textarea and then double click on the resizer it will reset to the original dimensions.
** "Sync should never complain about a network problem anymore unless you the Sync Now menu item/toolbar button is clicked." Sync is getting less noisy with its errors.
**  "Implement font-stretch property" was completed in 9.  It's notable because it was filed in 1999 :-)
** "add mouseenter and mouseleave DOM events" high-profile web devs have been begging for this for a good while.
** "Implement CSS3 columns shorthand" CSS 3 columns are more important than ever and with IE 10 (and Windows 9) adding support for multi-column layout, we're finally getting there with colums.
** "Implement CSS3 text-overflow: <left> <right>"
** "API for controlling fullscreen from content" (still preffed off.)
** "Implement temporal dimension portion of Media Fragments URI specification for video/audio" This is kind of a huge step for Open Video.
