Blocker Report
- I'll start adding this every week
Firefox 3.1 Update
- dev-apps-firefox has had some good back and forth on design and interaction issues, be sure to read up
- Ctrl-Tab
- feedback on UI has resulted in some changes to the interaction
- not sure that we're going to get this properly solved for 3.1, at which point we might do better to pull it now and get it right for next version
- if you want to try the new interaction: see the mockup, play with tryserver builds
- Tear off tabs
- several regressions spotted
- Mano has a new patch, landing today
- Performance
- Ryan found some more Ts wins
- team turning to bug fixes, polish and performance fixes for next little while

Roundtable
Closed Tree Hook
- Active now. See dev.planning thread. bug 464974
- Might have been over-broadly applied. bug 465566
Next Milestone
- beltzner has been talking with a bunch of people, trying to break things down and understand how to make this decision
- goals: get more beta users, ensure quality of release, meet new "smaller, more frequent" release cycle
- considerations: add-on compatibility drives usage, JS engine replacement means we need broad web compatibility testing, several features landed late in the b2 cycle, b2 now estimated for first week of december
- requirements:
- declare platform frozen for add-on development and themers
- quickly identify any l10n changes required to get that work scheduled
- do not accept any new features, only interaction and functional updates based on feedback (bugs, discussions, suggestions)
- leave enough time to find compatibility issues & react
- ensure we get user base testing the breadth of the web
- does this necessarily imply a B3 vs an RC1?
- Suggested names of branches/clones for FF3.1 are discussed in .planning and bug 464640
