Topics for This Week

Favicon Work Landed

Chris Kitching’s major overhaul of the favicon system landed (see bug 914296). We found a few regressions, but keeping looking. This is a Fx27 feature. Any bugs that were fixed by the overhaul, but are also needed on Fx26 need other less risky patches.

RTL Work

The group of students working on RTL have been making some progress. A patch is up for changing our AndroidManifest.xml to advertise that we want to use RTL (see bug 924418). More layout and code patches are needed before we land anything though.

Home Page Status

We triaged the Fx26 tracking Home page bugs on Tuesday. The remaining bugs appear to have owners and patches are in progress. There are a few performance bugs, one of which (bug 916099) will need some attention. The Eideticker regression (bug 908225) might be fixed today.
