'''Last Week''':
* {{bug|847872}}: Reflow zoom on double tap only (r+, but I'm having some difficulty with tests - specifically testVkbOverlap on Android and I'm kind of blocked on this before I can land).

* {{bug|862763}}: Performance of nsLayoutUtils::FontSizeInflationEnabled needs some work (in review).

* Land HResize performance enhancement for reflow-on-zoom.
