Browser / Front End

(Progress reports every weekend on Planet Firefox)

    • vlad and robarnold working through two major bugs {numbers to follow}
    • if we can't get it resolved by the end of the week, we'll likely pull the per-tab-preview feature from Firefox 3.6 (the rest of Aero Peek support is still there and working fine)
  • a11y changes for tables (see this page for a list of bugs and why this is desired)
    • has tests
    • doesn't affect Firebug

Startup Performance

Estimated win Bug # Summary Owner Status Notes
~10% "Dirty Profile" Startup Reduction Constant startup relative to profile size Shawn Wilsher
significant bug 558200 Extension profiler platform api Steve Fink There is an easy way to provide feedback to extension developers to help them figure out why their extension is misbehaving. We need to implement that ASAP, so typical firefox installs(with lots of extensions) can be fast
