- Any hot items from launch?
- Fx 18
- Product announcements -> 'yellow status'
- Timing for new web content font? [awaiting license agreement and approval for cost; can be comfortable taking this up to the 2nd beta in 18 as drop-dead date] -> fonts ready to go, awaiting approval on costs and finalise agreement and will proceed only with Android scope. Beta 3 could possibly be our drop-dead (build next week), but up for discussion. Let's put it in nightly as a start.
- Search suggestions opt-in -> a go
- Phishing & malware protection -> some outstanding UI tweaks but shouldn't affect the operation of the feature

- Per-Tab private browsing moved to Fx 20
- Supporting all Android locales moved to Fx 20
- Reflow on Zoom moved to Fx 20

- Light-weight themes -> any blockers? looking for performance and profiling tracking; hoping to get something on AMO for a friendly website to install themes
- ARMv6 expanded support: 600MHz, 512MB, HVGA
- Tile-by-tile drawing, low-res tiles, mitigating locking seeing on thread (performance optimisation)
- Fx integration into Google search widget
