* [[Support/Firefox3.5:Forumthreads|3.5 Forum threads (28)]].  Take home: Firefox 3.5 is not immune to Flash/malware crashes.  These are plaguing us on 3.0.8 also.
** We're still trying to figure out what's causing _pr_md_send crashes ({{bug|467167}}).
* Other major issue: sqlite-related issues.  The list of symptoms a broken sqlite file can cause is long (crashes, not saving/deleting data or just really weird behavior) and thus users may not find the correct KB article or be able to self-diagnose.
** Few users have gone through with checking for corruption (because it's so much easier to delete and start over)
* KB should be completely set up for 3.5 and all 3.1 references have been changed.  Now just updating to reflect new UI and string changes since last beta.

* Information concerning partner repacks for 3.5 (as well as 3.0.x) will be tracked on the [[Partnering:Repacks:Status|Partner Repack Status]] page moving forward. This page will identify all repacks that will be released, along with customization and configuration details. Specific release information will be linked from the [[Releases|Releases]] page as well.
* Working on updating the information on UA detection in MDC, per previous conversations as well as discussion in {{bug|487887}}. Intent is to review the howto and distribute/promote with service providers (esp. Yahoo! :) ).
* Automated repack generation will start w/3.0.10 (thanks, coop!), and we'll probably be pulling a number of partner-generated repacks back in-house to offer (close to) day-and-date repacks for 3.5.
* We'd (well, I'd) like to know if it's possible to fix support for bundle loads in 3.5.1, which seems to have broken at some point past 3.0 release (see {{bug|485274}}.
