- Landed a couple of “panel” features and patches to make Social use them.
- Landed the async form history patch after fixing an orange which caused it to be backed out.
- Getting my head around the e10s work and made a start on moving the form observer and autocomplete to an out-of-process message-based model.

- Jamun branch is dead – Australis work is happening solely on UX branch now.
- As per UX request, I’ve moved the star button back into the URL bar for now while I work on the new bookmark widget for Australis. Merged this change into UX.
- Fixed strange appearance of popups on OSX
- Been tackling randomly failing tests under browser/base/content/test. Very frustrating.
- Laid out a rough roadmap for the rest of the Australis work – viewable from line 330 onwards here.
- Started conversations with ZER0 from the Jetpack team about Australis impacts to the SDK
- Lots of reviews

Last week:
- One public holiday
- Australis
- bug 855683 (JP tests) and bug 869939 (migrate stuff from addon bar to navbar) – blocked on decisions regarding addon-bar removal, talked with jetpack folks and mconley, posted to fx-dev, waiting on finalizing discussion there + ux feedback
- landed bug 853083 (tabs left margin on windows without the app button)
- lots of stuff about bug 853415 (weird overflow bug), seems we’re now going to able to fix it by never hiding the navbar
- Started work on never hiding the navbar in bug 870545 and bug 752434.
- behind the scenes stuff about bug 658467 (tab label fadeout rather than ellipsis), looking hard to make work in a performant manner
- Other
- landed bug 865316 (polish for OS X menubuttons)
- still waiting for reviews on Fx reset tab restoring, and UX response from Limi on whether we care enough about tab groups
This week:
- More Australis customization stuff (navbar, tab scrollbar fixes after that’s done)
- Want to tackle UX orange/red and get it just as green as the trees outside my window.
