  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326877 - menupopup.showPopup() can be abused (have partial patch, dveditz looking into a more complete solution)
• Fixes ready to land today (Monday 1/5):
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360493 - (CVE-2006-6077) – Cross-Site Forms + Password Manager = Security Failure (mconnor landing today)
  • All Vista Bugs (rstrong/sspitzer preparing branch patches for landing today)
    • Including Y! IM/default browser bug fix from rstrong
• Not holding release, but will take patch if we get it soon:

Build

• Put out an RFC in the newsgroup for changing the tree closure policy in regards to SeaMonkey performance regressions. Perf regressions will no longer be cause to close the tree; build regressions will continue to prompt tree closures.
• We're working through the Tinderbox support policy with IT; expect an announcement on that next week.
• Coop has started working on getting projects their own identities/ssh keys; we'll be contacting the people doing release work in the community for Camino, SeaMonkey, and others to help them get setup with this new infrastructure.

QA

Product Management and Marketing Updates

Marketing

• We should be ready to share our 2007 marketing plan for Firefox next week -- as we did last year we'll post a call for participants on Spread Firefox to join a webcast.

• We're gearing up to conduct some market research in the US, Japan and parts of Europe to gauge awareness of Firefox and help us better plan outreach activities.
