Upcoming Product Releases
Firefox 3.0.19 / Firefox 3.5.9
- released yesterday
Lorentz Branch (Firefox 3.6.?)
- issues found in build1, some backports from mozilla-central were missed
- new issues being tracked: bug 556026, bug 555970, unfiled hang-detector kicking in when switching tabs a lot on youtube
- Looks like none of these are serious enough to block a beta, so we're likely to start build2 spins today
Fennec 1.0.1 Maemo
- Builds spun, a couple locale repack problems, hoping to test and release this week.
mozilla-central developer preview
- This has been on hold for various trunk blockers. First aero glass, now GPU video and other stuff. Hope to have a good nightly tomorrow.

Support
- Weekly Support Report sign up here.
- Top issue is still the Hotmail issue: bug 538892 but we have progress!
- Also new after 3.6.2: OSX stalling on DNS lookups for SOME users. {bug|555819}}
- Question for the community: what should we do about stuff like extensions that break Firefox that we find.
Product Development
Firefox Project
Some recent work:
- Tab Matches in Awesomebar landed. Woop!
- EM API and UI work still in code review.
- Looks like, for a quarter, we'll net about 44% of all i/o moved off main thread, with two bugs in review to bring us to > 75%. I'm looking at you, Novotny and Duell!
- Glass turned on for Windows theme, but then turned off due to some nasty bugs (see, e.g., bug 450767 and follow up bugs)

Web Dev
Partners
Evangelism
- Started the CSS :visited push this week:
Marketing/PR
- Plugging the CSS History Leak
- Testing:
- Working with metrics on continued tests on the download page for IE users...current focus is on optimizing for page load time, and this seems to have a huge impact on download conversion. Will implement any relevant findings in the short term, and will use this info (speed=good) as a building block when we redesign the site later this year.
- Working with metrics and Sean Martell to tweak the first run page design, again based on some recent tests.
Roundtable
- l10n changeset signoffs - who's doin' 'em, and who's allowed?
