Topics for This Week

Minifying JS
Nick landed code to minify the JavaScript in Firefox. This should only "kick in" for Aurora and higher. It's disabled on Nightly, and is also disabled in DEBUG builds.
Password Improvements
We had a kick-off meeting yesterday with people from UX, Desktop, Security and Cloud Services. Working on an action list for short-term work. Set up a mailing list.
Blurry Content
Several bugs filed on a burry content regression today.
Enabling New Tablet UI
Code landed, but was backed out after causing a "checkerboarding" regression.
