• 39 Firefox 3.5 threads out of 2523: [Support/Firefox3.5]
• New (possibly) 3.0.8 issue: Web browsing and startup really slow. May be vundo, conficker, or security software (although we couldn't find anything in common). Ideas? [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] and others. My lack of bugzilla skills produces: bug 486771.
• Also suddenly common: crashing on facebook/a few other sites: bug 486809

Localization

Evangelism

• you can now mark Tech Evangelism bugs as blocking-firefox3.5? - should do this for topsite incompatibility that's due to user agent sniffing, site-specific CSS for Firefox, etc.
