    • Keep patches and reviews moving forward.

UX design

Platform Support

Android

  • Minor painting regressions (when putting Fennec in the background, you may see a black screen) is known. Patch to fix this is pending review.
  • "official" builds are no longer have debugable set to true in the android manifest
    • That means you can no longer read anything in the profile
  • run-as bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16391
    • If you have a device, and it comes preloaded with a lot of software, you will may not be able to debug fennec
