Last week

• Customization
  • Final specification for customization work published
    • Big things on the chopping block are small icons mode and the add-on toolbar
  • Jamun branch has been updated to allow (almost) the entire nav-bar to be customized, as well as the toolbar-menubar, TabsToolbar and PersonalToolbar.
  • Started farming out additional widget work to new folks! \o/
• Tabs
  • Empty favicon's are gone from tabs, and tab labels are centered again on OSX
  • Put up a patch to make lw-theme's work in the new curvy-tab world we're in - r?MattN.
  • Worked with smichaud to get the tabs into the titlebar properly on OSX. Patch is r?dao and BenWa.
    • We can get the tabs up there, but there will still be some invalidation bugs which we'll address in follow-ups.
• Other
  • Patch in the works to retire the Firefox button - bug 863753
