- Awaiting performance report from Dietrich. Initial stats show that bundling the addon incurs a performance penalty, but further review is needed to find out what is due to Jetpack and what is due to BrowserID portion.
- Security review is needed on portions of Jetpack that are going to be used in addon.
- Addon needs fixed to handle opening multiple Firefox windows.
- Quality and Security Reviews are needed on addon code.
