Check out [http://msujaws.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/in-content-preferences-are-now-available-in-firefox-nightly/ Jared's blog post] for more info. There's some followup polish/theming work still remaining before we make the switch and remove the old preferences dialog. | |||
* [http://blog.johnath.com/2012/05/08/awesome-a-compendium/ FX-Team work week wrap up] - read it, there's good stuff in there! | |||

* Incremental GC making progress towards being turned on by default again ({{bug|750959}}, {{bug|752098}}). | |||
* Wladimir Palant (Adblock Plus fame) wrote a new [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/suspend-background-tabs/ Suspend background tabs] add-on to halt activity in background tabs. This experimental add-on should give a sense of how we can improve lag due to background tabs. | |||
==GFX== | ==GFX== | ||

* Lots of work happening on security model, but still a lot of work remaining. | |||
* We will probably adjust the open-web-apps API to allow multiple apps per origin since the security model will support that. Might not implement the actual support in the initial release though. | |||
* The Open Web Apps API has been submitted to W3C and we've started receiving input. | |||
* Initial APIs for "system intents", camera control and Alarm API being discussed on webapi mailing list. | |||
* Started implementing backend for doing apps-specific permissions. | |||
