yesterday I got the keyboard running in Bug 1257935. That leads to some questions about the use of MOZ_CHILD_PERMISSIONS and the security setup in desktop e10s. I reached out to the e10s team on that, waiting on their answer to decide how we proceed.

I fixed the problem of hardcoded paths for apps (bug 1259094). Pine before the last mc merge was good. I have pending patches for recent regressions from mc on mulet (bug 1260402).
I am also hacking around mc boot regression (bug 1260441).
