Performance
GFX
- Quartz backend for the new 2D API (Azure) landed, on by default, for canvas.
- Tracked in bug 692879.
- OS X only, canvas only (for now).
- Please test canvas demos, etc!
- When testing, you can disable this implementation by toggling the pref gfx.canvas.azure.enabled to ensure it’s actually a regression.
JS
Layout
Video
DOM
WebAPI
- WebSMS nearly ready, might even land today (Fennec and linux).
Network
- We need a test server for SPDY, we’ve decided to go with node-spdy. We’re planning to require a local installation of node 0.7 or higher in order to test SPDY. We’ll be requesting that node be deployed to our testing infrastructure for this.
- Once SPDY testing is possible we’ll be requesting that SPDY be turned on by default on mozilla-central, at least for a week. This should happen soon after the start of Firefox 13 development.
Plugins
Mobile
Accessibility
- Work progressing on mobile and OSX a11y.
- Team will follow up with a post to dev-platform or dev-planning regarding when and how to ship FF on OSX with a11y built in.
Tree Management
- 10.5 leak builds happening for try on 10.6 machines
- see dev.planning post for more details
- can we disable Mobile Desktop builds for m-c, project branches and aurora?

There are a number of bugs logged to track this issue.

Roundtable
- (bsmedberg) – bug 712032 is a rather new orange which appears to be related to cache incorrectness; it doesn’t have an owner but I don’t think we should ship a release with it.
