Gecko 1.9 Alpha Planning
Feature Status
The table below has the large features that either have already landed in Gecko 1.9 or are planned to land. The list may not be complete; please add as needed. The list should primarily include architecture changes that are either considered blockers for 1.9 or have significant regression risk (or both). http://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko_1.9_Roadmap may have inspiration for things to include (assuming they're actually being worked on or planned).
