Critsmash (dbolter)

Memshrink (njn)

Timothy Nikkel fixed some janky scrolling on pages with many small images caused by his big fix for image-heavy pages. Hopefully this will now allow the big fix to progress through to release builds, and ameliorate a big chunk of the #1 MemShrink big ticket item.

Justin Lebar and Andrew McCreight fixed an IPC leak that was causing problems in long-running B2G sessions.

OrangeFactor (ryanvm)

  • Past week's OrangeFactor: 5.39 (Previous Week: 6.36).
