Major Topics for This Week

Released Fx19
Lightweight themes, Expanded ARMv6 support and Support for zh-TW and zh-CN are some of the highlights. We also worked on the streamlining Session Restore, cleaned up the way we store Favicons and Thumbnails, and added History expiration. The UI was tweaked in several places, including About:Home and the Awesomescreen. Content rendering was also greatly improved with: Tile-by-tile drawing, Low-res tiles and Mitigated locking.
Fx19 Stability
We are hitting many DB related crashes during the upgrade. It's difficult to figure out when some of the crashes are happening, but others are definitely happening during the DB upgrade. See bug 791958 - Locked DB, bug 829927 - IllegalStateException at upgradeDatabaseFrom12to13, and bug 752828 - Moar locked DB. Check out the top crashers
