'''Holy crap, we shipped 3.6 and it is awesome!'''  Let's do new, awesome things!
Among the upcoming awesome stuff you may want to keep an eye on:
* [[Firefox/Projects/3.7_and_4.0_Theme_and_UI_Revamp|New theme work]] spinning up in earnest. UX/Dev teams met today to parcel out work, bugs being filed.
* Tab matches in awesomebar (new, possibly final patch coming this week) {{bug|480350}}
* [[Extension_Manager:UI_Update|Extension Manager UI]] rewrite moving along swiftly, and fleshing out the new [[Extension_Manager:API_Rewrite|Extension Manager API]] in the process.
* UI for crashed, out-of-process plugins in near-final review {{bug|538910}}
* Marco added some much-needed features to Browser-chrome-mochitests, which [http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/26/browser-chrome-tests-extended he blogged about].
* The [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531940 Places API] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507258 Toolbar API] for Jetpack are in final review stages.
* Ryan is assisting the I/O-- project by making [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539907 content pref lookups asynchronous].

* Cairo update work is ongoing. (This will allow us to use the cairo GL backend.)
* The Cairo side of the Direct2D patch has landed. Font, widget, etc work is still undergoing review.
* Core Animation patch ({{bug|497225}}) is undergoing review. It has some deficiencies that we hope are fixable, but might not be. There also seems to be no way to retrieve, and therefore test, its output (confirmed by an Apple employee).

* More people on board with e10s necko work
* Starting to help out with triaging for trunk alpha.
* Complete wrapperization ready for review.
