Firefox/Goals/2010Q2

	THIS PAGE IS A WORKING DRAFT
	The page may be difficult to navigate, and some information on its subject might be incomplete and/or evolving rapidly. If you have any questions or ideas, please add them as a new topic on the discussion page.

• [NEW] Publish and maintain a Firefox roadmap
• [NEW] publish and maintain Firefox product plans for 3.5.x / Firefox.next
• [NEW] Ship a Firefox.next beta before the Mozilla 2010 Summit

• New Firefox Theme
  • Windows complete (no blocking bugs)
  • Beta quality for Mac, Linux

• Feature Work
  • This is the quarter where a bunch of our awesome ideas need to very quickly get very solid.
  • Self-hosted Home Tab
  • App Tabs
  • Design/Implement better approach for privacy/security sensitive notifications

• Jetpack Enablement
  • As with our feature work, this is the quarter where Jetpack gets real.
  • This isn't "a labs project," this is the Firefox SDK.
  • All 0.2-targetted JEPs completed, plus page-worker which is post-0.2 but feels very high value

• Integrated Developer Tools
  • Beta quality designer-friendly inspector
  • Beta quality activity console with jetpack integration
  • Basic content debugging

• Performance
  • We have some really solid knowledge about Ts and bugs in the queue, but we clearly have problems estimating the amount of ground we can cover in a quarter, too.
  • Ts still matters, but we're running into the fact that we don't "believe" clean Ts very much.
    • We should refine/rebuild that test to reflect a more plausible startup scenario (e.g. 5 tabs, timer only stops after we: start up, accel-L, type www.locallycachedgoogle.com, load that page)
  • Produce a complete startup timeline.
    • Identify 5 most expensive modules ("chunks of code"), focus perf work there
    • Example: make sessionrestore O(1) within the startup path (!)

Eng-wide Goals we should expect to be heavily involved with:

• Ship Lorentz
  • We have work here around making sure the OOPP UI lands safely, but this is really eng-wide, and mostly on bsmedberg right now

• Electrolysis
  • Able to build, run Firefox with a separate content process. (Things might break, chrome might not work fully, but the browser should stay standing).

• J-PAKE
  • Working with Shaver, Lucas on how to articulate an eng-wide "land security features" goal
