- Plugins are now painted asynchronously on Windows. This could make performance and responsiveness on slow computers a lot better. bsmedberg wants testing from nightly-users. (bug 596451).
- In Firefox 4 beta 7 users on MacOS 10.5 (Leopard) cannot submit crash reports, and all crashes appear to be hangs/unresponsive Firefox. (bug 599475).
- Syed in Release Engineering has been making great progress on signing the OSX builds. Won't be ready for beta 8, but definitely before 4.0 final. We'll need some extra help from QA to verify this all works as expected. bug 400296
