Security

• Security Reviews

Multi-Process

• Initial docs with phases and SWAG schedule available.
• Initial focus will be responsiveness/stability, not security sandboxing
• We're looking for places where chrome JS currently touches content DOM directly... see mozilla.dev.platform post for more details.
• Decisions need to be made about how to approach the network stack (should we switch to chromium's network stack wholesale?), but I don't know the right way to have that conversation/make that decision (it's hard to know whether switching would reduce or extend the total time of the multiple-process work).

Roundtable

• If worked on a user facing feature, please make sure it is on this list (which will be used to generate the press reviewer's guide, mozilla.com content, etc):
