    • zzxc is doing a lot of investigation with bug 467167 may be related to Apple's Bonjour service in windows.
  • New? malware: bug 488283 causing lots of problems for Italian users and likely other users. See also [1]
    • need to catch this in a debugger to figure out where it's holding up our normal exit
    • should also report the malware to the antivirus companies so they can update their patterns
  • 12 3.5 Forum threads this week, no new 3.5-specific issues. Support/Firefox3.5:Forumthreads
