== Areas of Interest ==
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Sandbox Content Isolation] - Securing child processes and general hardening work.
* IPC / Child processes - Maintenance and improvements to Mozilla's IPC communication layer and process model. Note similar development takes place under the DOM team. Platform Integration tends to center on platform specific issues.
* Widget - Maintenance of the native windowing support layer in Gecko.
* Legacy Plugins - Maintaining Firefox support for the Flash plugin, which will be removed at the end of 2020.
* Low Level Tools - Compilers, static analyzers, core code backing the platform.


* General overall quality of the desktop apps
= Development management =
* Friendlier basic widgets
** inline html5 widgets (color, date and time inputs, range, url, email) (telemetry here)
** better input field validation feedback
** peekaboo passwords
** quick clear text
* Improved desktop notifications and integration
* OSX trackpad gestures
* Windows soft keyboard support
** better physical keyboard detection
* Windows Cortana / Apple Siri integration?
* Touch/pointer events support
** currently event model works but violates the spec in some ways
** Swipe / thumbnail navigation
** floating scrollbars
** content selection
** zoom
** pen input
* Universal Windows Platform api support
** Project Centennial
* Improvements in accessibility on Windows (UIA support?)
* Virtual desktop support bugs
* Multiple monitor bugs
* Investigate using native spell checking for better support


= Development management =
=== Priority field ===
== Cycle tracking ==
* P1 - Actively being worked on
* Match up with release cycles, no open ended development
* P2 - Planned after finishing higher priority bugs  
* The idea is to pick enough bugs to fill a release cycle
* P5 - Wanted, but no immediate plans to address
* Limits the amount of work people have on their plate
* Each cycle has polish bugs mixed in in addition to normal bug work


=== Priority field as a classification ===
=== Severity field ===
* p1 - serious bugs, show stoppers, release blockers
* S1 - (Catastrophic) Blocks development/testing, may impact more than 25% of users, causes data loss, potential chemspill, and no workaround available
* p2 - general bugs, really want to fix, easy to reproduce
* S2 - (Serious) Major Functionality/product severely impaired and a satisfactory workaround doesn’t exist
* p3 - corner case bugs, low occurrence, hard to reproduce, polish bugs, non-breaking
* S3 - (Normal) Blocks non-critical functionality and a work around exists
* p5 - future, fix optional, community, good first bug
* S4 - (Small/Trivial) minor significance, cosmetic issues, low or no impact to users
