* '''Known memory leak after prolonged browser usage.'''  In order to better handle memory issues, a new garbage collection system has been implemented for native code.  However, the process of integrating code into this system is still ongoing, and you may notice excessive memory usage after the browser is used for a long period of time.  A restart should fix this problem, which will also be fixed in 1.9a3.

* Changes that [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:Reflow_Refactoring refactored] intrinsic width computation and incremental layout landed.  This means that the code for determining intrinsic widths, used for width calculations in tables, floats, and absolutely positioned elements, has been rewritten.  The code for handling incremental layout of pages (as the page arrives over the network, as images load, or as other dynamic changes are made) has also been changed extensively.
* The <code>inline-block</code> and <code>inline-table</code> values of CSS2.1's display property are now implemented.
