If you want to add a discussion topic to upcoming the live meeting agenda:
- Start a thread in the Community Forums, so that everyone in the community can see what will be discussed and voice their opinion here before Monday (this will make it easier to have an efficient meeting).
- Please do so as soon as you can before the meeting, so that people have time to read, think, and reply (and also add it to the agenda).

Firefox

(for iOS) IT’S HERE! In case you missed that ;-)
(for Desktop) Mark is currently AFK, but the latest updates are as follows:
- 40.0.3 update was released last Thursday, including fixes for 2 security vulnerabilities, a Linux crash and minor compatibility issues
- 40.0.3 brought a new bug, as well.
- version 41 (due to be released in three weeks): will include add-on signing, removal of the browser.newtab.url preference and updates for sponsored tiles/sites
- the 64-bit builds for Windows will probably delayed until Firefox 42, due to ongoing work on flash plugin sandboxing
(OS) All the devices in Botswana have sold out, so the team is working on providing more (hooray for all the new users in Botswana!)

Let’s finish the week with a bang, shall we? Who is cuter? Vote in the comments!

…see you next week!
