Product Status Updates

Firefox 4

• As mentioned last week, the plan is to ship a Firefox 4 Beta for Desktop as close as possible to the Firefox 4 Beta 3 for Mobile devices, in order to align on some sync changes
  • The outstanding blocker list for beta 8 stands at 29, with JS and Sync being the largest single components.

Firefox 3.6 and 3.5

• Released 3.6.13 and 3.5.16 to the beta channel last week
• We will be creating a build #2 for a 3.6.11/.12 regression we were only recently notified of (bug 614565)
• Schedule is still holding (planning to ship December 9th)

Mobile Firefox

• Last few b3 issues are being knocked out
• Beta 4 code freeze is January 6 focused on the last big pieces that need a beta (GL, async places work, PICs)

Thunderbird

• Miramar Alpha 1 released (based on Gecko 2.0 trunk)
• 3.0.11 and 3.1.7 builds underway

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation.
