Major Topics for This Week
- Feature uplift for Firefox 15 is basically complete; focus is now on regressions, stability, and polish.
- Q. Does this mean Firefox 15 is string-frozen?
- A. We will freeze strings after 15.0b3 is built, next week. We know of only one possible string change remaining for 15.0b3 (bug 725286).
