Browser / Front End

• Polish update: Firefox is 55% shiny (no change from last week)
  • 45 remaining easy polish bugs (whiteboard [polish-easy])
  • 38 remaining hard polish bugs(whiteboard [polish-hard])

GFX 1.9.1 Update

• 0 blockers open, 0 blockers remaining to be landed on 1.9.1
  • GFX mostly code-complete for 1.9.1
  • One windows 7 bug may be landed on 1.9.1 yet, but the release doesn't block on it.

Layout Update

• • blockers
  • SVG blockers

Content Update

• Content Blockers
• Not disabling XPCOM plugins until Java SE 6 Update 14 is released. That is the first release that has no XPCOM dependencies whatsoever, though the plugin has been NPAPI (not XPCOM) since Java SE 6 Update 10.

Mac OS X Update

• Steven Michaud released a JEP update for the top Mac OS X crash in Firefox 3.5 Beta 4.
• Josh looking into consuming Objective-C exceptions vs. aborting, at least in some cases.
• 64-bit Mac OS X builds coming along, builds up to gfx without patches and builds through gfx with patches in review. Next module that needs to be ported is plugins, will take longer than other components since a new API implementation is required (Cocoa event model).
• Trunk and all branches of Firefox run without any major issues on the latest Mac OS X 10.6 seed. Can successfully compile 32-bit Firefox via cross-compile on 10.6 if you disable crashreporter (default architecture on 10.6 is x86_64 via gcc-4.2).
• Josh at WWDC in SF June 8-12.

JS 1.9.1

• JS Blockers

General 1.9.1

These are bugs that fall outside of components covered by the Gfx, Content, Layout and JS groups:

• blockers
• untriaged nominations

Security

• Security Reviews

Roundtable

• Blog funnel starting up: Evangelism/Firefox3.5/35Days - will ask for help/writing
