Extension Manager Enhancements

  • Extension Blacklisting - should be finished by end of week due to a couple of additional cases that needed to be handled. Blacklist is stored in an xml file that allows for a lot of flexibility.
  • Extension Dependencies - done except for ui review. Some of this code is needed by blacklisting and locales.
  • Extension Locales - specification done. Coding has not started yet.
  • Extension Update Notification - specification and coding has not started yet.

Note: existing bugs have been reviewed and most if not all existing bugs that break the EM will be patched for Firefox 2.0.

Visual Refresh

  • cursory tests of Fx1.5 on Longhorn Beta shows that no significant changes were made that break NSITheme
    • vlad and pav will need to revisit this for Cairo (Firefox 3) as well, and have said that they'll alert us if they find anything significantly broken
  • talking with Visual Identity team about timelines required to deliver a new set of icons to shine & polish default Firefox 2 look and feel
  • currently brainstorming with ben and Visual Identity team about what changes will need to be made to default chrome to support new features
  • need to checkpoint with Gavin about changes to chrome around Search Bar
