  • Improve OS X "select" tag rendering, dropdown menu should look like OSX dropdown menus rather than windows in more cases (it drops down to platform-independent version now)
  • Allow shorter tabs, use gradients instead of ellipses for text overflow
  • Improve session restore screen to support groups/windows better
  • Move "Know your rights" bug 571584 and Firefox update available bug 588227 to home tab snippets
  • Ctrl-tab should know about tab order instead of just moving left-to-right
  • Tooltips stick around and overlay other apps on OS X when switching apps bug 618733
