Header

• "mozilla" text in header seems to vary depending on browser. Firefox (looks extra bold), Chrome (looks closest to PSD) and Safari (different font?) on Mac all look different -- a WOFF issue I guess?

• At narrow widths the search box floats under the nav items. Ideally the two words in each nav item would stack to make more room for the search box. See example

• Note that we made some changes to the header in the sub-page design process. These can be incorporated now or we can update later when those pages are coded. Specifically, nav links capitalized and spacer graphic removed. See example

Body

• Were we going to be able to rotate the intro blurb for A/B testing? Second blurb would be: We're Building a Better Internet

• "Download Firefox" and "Download Thunderbird" buttons should be hooked up to actual downloads instead of pointing to those sites

• A vertical scrollbar appears at the right edge of the featured area when clicking on Firefox, Thunderbird or More Projects tabs in Firefox 3.6 on Mac but not Firefox 4 beta, Safari or Chrome (didn't test IE).

• At narrow widths the height of the featured box changes as it scrolls through the tabs -- can we have a common height set?

• On slow connections the 3 featured areas stack in the page -- is there a way to more gracefully handle a slow connection by hiding those extra featured items before everything fully loads?

• In "More Projects" graphic we should replace the Miro icon since they seemed to have moved off of XULRunner. Can you swap with the Kompozer icon or should we ask Lee to update the psd?

• Is it possible to stop the rotation of the feature items when hovering? Don't want people to try to click on a moving target.

• Should we promote Firefox 4 beta on home page or Firefox 3.6?

• Open issue for reviewing In the News section that is not on staging site yet

Footer

• In footer, let's take the patch for replacing the 'Page History' link with last modified date. Bug 521706

• Paint swatches missing in footer

Other

• Overflow problem seems to be fixed. Thank you!

• "Get In Touch" text in sidebar on Get Involved page is aligned out of the sidebar area

Resolved Issues

• For "And we’re dedicated to keeping it free, open and accessible to all. Learn more" the link should point to mozilla.org/about/mission.html.

• "Donate now" in main promo should link to Open Web Fund page.

• Update side bar blurbs with real copy.

• Privacy Policy link in newsletter sign-up should point to Privacy Policy on mozilla.org.

• Add WebTrends tags for main promo.

• Change ordering of global nav items to: About Us, Community Map, Our Projects, Get Involved.
