Things it would be great to have done for beta:

• Experience of startup / page load
  • Cut down the amount of checkerboarding - bug 716581
  • Handful of startup weirdness bugs: tracked in bug 721008
• Fix the p1/p2 font inflation bugs -- we want this to be as right as possible for beta; bug 706193, bug 706198
• Get frecency / top sites as right as we can: bug 704977
• Get the in-browser Sync UI pieces in, so people can find and set up sync
  • bug 708414, bug 716906 - looks like they're in!
• Get the tab menu not covering the whole screen -- may seem minor, but I want people to get the right idea of how it works as of beta - bug 712526
• Some thumbnail tweaks around differences in tab menu / start page, scaling where we shouldn't be (bug #)
• UI responsiveness (opening a tab; aweseomescreen top sites list coming in; settings screen entries becoming enabled)
