- Having trouble with different version of builds. Local builds, even when built for release, sometimes behave differently than regular nightly builds coming from the Mozilla build bots. Try-server builds also don't always behave the same. Couldn't reproduce some crashers when a nightly build reliably did. This made testing a bit extended since we often had to wait for a regular nightly to show some difference.
- Finished first article for German Webkrauts. It's about good markup for form controls and their labels. It hasn't been published yet.
