*Should {{Bug|570774}} block the Alpha 5 release?
** don't think so, not even sure that it should block a beta - secondary UI on a single platform
** does look like there's a fix for this in {{bug|565392}}
*QA Testing Requirements for Alpha 5
** https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.7a5/Test_Plan#Focus_Areas
** Good number of changes have landed since Alpha 4. Would like to spend some more time with the builds in light of this fact.

** beltzner thinks that there might be some difference of opinion about required quality bar for developer previews
** beltzner and mevans to follow up offline and figure something out
