Browser / Front End

• no blockers
• you're going to see some UI churn on trunk, get used to it
  • This will cause change. Things will not be the same as before.
  • IF YOU SEE A CHANGE YOU DON'T LIKE: Please sit with it for at least 48 hours before blogging/tweeting/irc pinging to tell us how terrible it is.
  • Change is hard, but important. We value input more than insults.

• this quarter our big targets are:
  • starting UI changes for Firefox 4
  • reducing I/O on the main thread (performance)
  • supporting out of process plugins work (UI and integration work)
  • continuing to drive startup time
  • integrating jetpack, weave and iterating on personas

JS

• ES5 changes landing
• Interpreter rearchitecture underway
• WebGL typed arrays landed

Roundtable

• XULRunner branch release plan: We release XR on 3 branches. How long do we keep releasing a branch?
