Topics for This Week

Adblock Plus
We have several reports about extremely slow startup that have been tied back to Adblock Plus. Profiling shows the problem to be creating regexes of a very large list of ad URL patterns. We have reached out to the developers and they are aware of the issue. They do not have an ETA on when it might be fixed. Mozilla is comtemplating various ways of trying to handle the issue. As a start, Adblock Plus is being removed from the Featured Add-ons.
Performance Work
We continue to improve pageload performance. Eideticker shows significant improvements to date. Work on startup improvements continue. We are being vigalant for regressions. Memory improvements have recently started to land too. Please keep brainstorming potential ways to improve Firefox!
Home Panel Sprint
Lots of progress over the last two days. Some prototypes have been created and show the system working! Expect a wrap-up post soon.
