  • bug 951865 needs trivial fixes, hope to land this week.
  • First patch and review for bug 961339 done, hope to land next week. Presenets itself as fresh builds but stale fennec_ids.txt. Should only impact robocop tests. Someone jumping on the hand grenade and killing fennec_ids.txt entirely would be *great*.
