Friends of the Mobile Team

Give a shoutout/thanks to people for helping fix and test bugs. Make sure friends also get awarded a badge.

• Michael Boon is working on bug 791475 - Android updater notification should provide more information like progress
• Capella fixed bug 913756 - Text Selection Handles displayed from position in previously navigated screen and bug 912523 - Give bookmark thumbnails a context menu header
• Augustin Trancart fixed bug 711959 which makes fling animations in Fennec stop spawning new threads, and should also reduce occasional glitching. This was a tricky bug to get right (and it took a while to do) but Augustin did a great job!
