Press & Public Reactions

Questions, Comments and Highlights

  • For when do we plan the last beta build off of the beta repos? aka, what's the target date for l10n of Firefox 6 desktop/mobile
  • (bsmedberg) Status of Windows 64-bit prioritization? I still think this should be very low priority, but I wonder if there is a feature page or an explicit prioritization decision has been made.
