- Blocking on Neil's popup redesign (bug 279703), which is slated to land shortly after A6 (patch was too dangerous for A6, by the time it was done).

General Discussion
- Freeze tonite: Will chase down [1] and continue as planned.
- Schedule:
- Concerns for B1, all features complete was the original criterial:
- GFX is basically feature complete.
- Leaks are currently an issue (Jonas).
- Dbaron: We still need to do perf and memory work.
- Schrep: Ground rules for the schedule:
- I'd like to ship a Fx3 that is better than Fx2. We should be excited.
- I care about fit and finish, perf, tp, ts, perf in major web apps, memory footprint, etc.
- Innovative stuff on the front end that we are excited about.
- The sooner we get this out the better. So, if we can meet the above criteria and still get it out there sooner rather than later, let's do so.

- Malware - Just received server from Google last week. Should be done by the end of the week.
