Firefox 3.1 Development

Development Update

• large outstanding set of P1 blockers (lion's share in TraceMonkey/JS Engine)
• moving code freeze for Beta 3 to Jan 25th to contain
• goal will be to get to 0 P1s in all components ASAP and then cut into P2s until freeze; this should prevent significant delay to final release date for Firefox 3.1

(see development meeting notes for more details)
