* News from the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/CrashKill CrashKill] front:
** Now that we've shpped dbaron's patch for {{bug|521750}}, we're starting to see more movement from vendors who are causing the issue.  Last week, I received responses from Move Networks, Relevant Knowledge (comScore), and DTToolbar and they claim to be making the required fixes to keep them from crashing the world. 
** For problem binaries where we can't find fixes, we'll be using dll blocklisting to keep them from loading.  For details see {{bug|524904}}.  This has landed already, and we'll see it in the betas.
** For the list of dlls to block, see {{bug|525103}}.
