Further Notes
- "Alert user when they're providing info on a suspicious website" has been removed from the PRD but has been flagged as warranting follow up. This will be brought up in the Labs IdeaCenter forum when it is available.
- "Plugin crashes should not crash the entire application" has been removed from Fx3, but needs to be part of Moz2 work. Must ensure that this is added to their list.
