Bas has made a lot of progress on the DirectWrite font backend for Windows 7. There are lots of screenshots in bug 517642. There's still a ways to go before this will be ready for prime time, but we're getting great results.
Jim has been having trouble reproducing a drag-and-drop cursor flickering problem on Windows. If you have seen cursor flickering, please weigh in on bug 521966.
The WebGL standard has been submitted to the Khronos board for intellectual property considerations. This will be a 45-day process, after which the spec will be released for public review.

Investigating how much and where to focus on websocket/HiBy protocol spec work (Jason and Jonas)

Multi-file select patch done, but needs testing before ready (Jonas)
HTML5 parser update (hsivonen)

(josh) Still waiting on sqlite library conflict resolution (bug 513747) so we can produce 64-bit Mac OS X builds without patches and set up a tinderbox. This also blocks running mochitests on 10.6.
(smichaud) 1.9.2/JEP update -- old bugs fixed, new bugs found:
- bug 513979 (Disable Java setting not preserved when switching from FF 3.5 to 3.6):
  - Fixed and landed, in beta1.
- bug 521818 (Current plugin instance not destroyed when disabling Java):
  - Fixed and landed, not in beta1.
- bug 522962 (Applet needs to be reloaded after switching to/from full screen mode):
  - Needs to be fixed in JEP, probably not a blocker.
- bug 523129 (Java's AppletContext.showDocument() doesn't work on 1.9.2 branch):
  - Patch available.

Continuing allocation performance improvements
recursive function changes
identified major source of browser/shell perf delta: wrappers / security checks. About 15% on SunSpider.

Plugins:
- working towards getting stuff landed in mozilla-central, preffed off. See bug 523904 for dependencies.
- Windowless impl work continues, basic Windows support has been reviewed, needs to land.
- NPRuntime basically complete, some edge cases to clean up but nothing that renders it inoperable.

Tabs
- Focusing on getting a Fennec demo working.
- Smaug has been dealing with focus and embedding issues which should make keyboard events work properly.
- bsmedberg working on removing assumptions about browsers having docshells
- Probably need to remote some basic events such as MozAfterPaint in order for the Fennec tilebrowser to work correctly

Necko
- close to having our full set of necko xpcshell unit tests running in content process--researching failures/hangs.
