• Been on PTO for the last couple of days, almost finished up with needinfos and reviews.
• bug 1209689 - Did some discovery work revolving around our current crashed tab display behavior. Received signoff from UX on improvements. Work currently slated for M9.
• bug 1164508 - (m8, fix UX related to hung scripts and plugins) - currently trying to come up with something here that simpler and easy to understand which better ties into the changes in bug 1209689.
• bug 1213758 (compositor crash accessing layer tree information) - fix posted, waiting on try run before kicking off review.
• bug 1214878 (plugins embedded in iframes don't update visibility during page scrolling) - working on this now. nsGfxScrollFrame in the content process should be updating these but apparently isn't.
• bug 1190364 (m8, plugin info sometimes fails with e10s) - have a potential fix for this, still needs to be reivewed.

• bug 1156742 - print to xps with low integrity sandbox - I have just got something working, with pictures but no text. There are a couple of problems with fonts that we need to resolve. Also, I’m currently using the existing printing surfaces behind the DrawTargetRecording at the moment, which means I get two prints, which is nice for testing. I want to move to just using an off-screen surface, but I was having problems with page size and DPI.

• bug 1196975 (m8, - stop using shims in the SDK) - we're looking into some weird bugs with Dave, it seems like page-workers do something weird. Dave found a bug that shims altering behavior even in non-e10s case and I think we're creating sandboxes for windows from another process unintentionally which sounds very bad to me.
• bug 1159827 (m8, - showing spinner when closing a tab) - took a while to reproduce it, but it seems like this can be tricky to fix. When we close the tab and the layer tree of the next tab is not ready yet, I'm not sure what is the good strategy really. If we show the next tab then it'll likely be a a black screen, if we show the closed tab that might lead people to click close again and close the next tab... I can try that and see if it helps... The tab switcher does not seem to handle if the switch is a result of a close, but I need to read some more code.
