We triaged Sync bugs out of Fx29+ and Fx30+, here's some feedback I cultivated, I'll keep watching

"Major Improvement! The beta keeps all my history and things in sync! I like that I now can add unlimited devices to my account!!"
"Nice, but handling synced tabs clunky Sync speed has improved since last review, but there's still no way to sort, search or filter synced tabs and bookmarks from other devices, which means it can still take forever to find what you really want quickly....a problem that is mirrored throughout the whole interface. Firefox should be geared towards making it intuitive to seamlessly move between browsing-in-progress on multiple devices. Wasn't that the original promise of the concept of syncing?"

UI language switching seems to be higher priority than web content language switching
Need to clarify what this project looks like & sort out current status
Ideally we want this for a Fx31 release

Items to Note

Google Now lands on Windows and Mac desktops, continuing the trend of pushing features from mobile out to the desktop and vice versa, to offer consistent experiences across platforms
Cisco and Google pen an agreement to bring WebEx to Chromebooks, indicating an HTML5 variant of the popular Enterprise conferencing software will be released.
A different take on Mozilla's decision to abandon Metro, mainly around how it may impact others. Ignore the tea-leaf-reading on Moz motivations, and focus on the perceived difficulties of the Metro platform's openness (also echo'd by Brian Bondy)

28 Release Looks Good:

No spikes of any specific feedback categories
25% increase in negative sync feedback (~1.0% -> ~1.3%). We think that this is probably due to increased usage (snippet). There appears to be fewer complaints about the set up process.

Sent out Hub suggestions[[1]] based on recent non-version-specific feedback
