Bug 714110

• JSON serialization broken in Fx 10
• new proxy type explicitly prevents type checking if arrays
• deliberate change in behaviour
  • need to pass only strings between compartments
• probably will not be fixed in Firefox
• Eddy will mark wontfix, will open blocker SDK bug

Flightdeck

• 1.0 launch
• search is good
• super user is working
• add-on builder helper re-write:
  • 2 more concerns:
    • support multiple add-on case
    • bug: unload is never fired as SDK expects it
  • tracking bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=714815
  • Alex: api needs to be asynchronous
  • Dan: set up meeting to work with the Flightdeck team
• starting to think about 2012 plans

  • https://github.com/AndrewLorente/pullme

Hidden window

• etherpad: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/PKnhLh9qO7
• using xul windows?
  • problem automatically closing them
  • hidden window is closed at very specific time, to support OS X menu
• setting display:none could prevent underlying OS window?
• re-use a single hidden window
  • limit access to window, only give add-on limited api
