+* Accessibility:  Loads of fixes landed on Trunk last week that improve robustness and usability in the areas of ARIA and QA. Notable items include:
+** {{bug|381049}}, which enables Firefox and Thunderbird to send crashes in COM to BreakPad now. This means that crashes happening in the Microsoft Active Accessibility code which normally get swallowed by COM, will now be reported as normal crashes, enabling us to find and fix more bugs that might otherwise be obscured.
+** {{bug|414656}} landed on Trunk, which once again makes ChatZilla usable with nightlies.
+** {{bug|415299}} landed, allowing ARIA content authors to specify string equivalents for various slider points. An example is the Resolution slider in Windows Display settings, which, aside from the numeric value, also specifies the "x by y" resolution.
