At some kind of building fire training thing. Three Mozilla people multiplied by three scheduled hours == a huge waste of time and money. On the bright side, in future, you must refer to me as "Fire Marshall Nick".

Last week: in SFO for second screen workweek, did some hacking on about:devices. This week: reviewing everything and working on some Remote Tabs panel bugs.

Fixed

• 1009732 - Reduce number of Proguard passes for developer builds
• 1010445 - JavaScript Error: "TypeError: aElement.getAttribute is not a function" {file: "chrome://browser/content/CastingApps.js" line: 184}]
