Accessibility
Multi-Process
- Firefox starting up landed to m-c: set pref "browser.tabs.remote" to true to try it out!
- Windows accessibility experiment appears to be successful: we're using a dummy window to provide the accessibility tree and NVDA appears to be able to navigate it
- Discussion about responsiveness metric ongoing: are we going to measure UI interactions such as new-tab and new-window, or content effects on responsiveness, or both?
Tree Management
- Starting Wednesday morning, we will only generate nightlies when something has changed
- If no code change and no locale string change for any locale, then do not generate new nightlies.
- If any code change, or *any* locale change, we'll still generate new nightly builds for *all* locales.
- details in bug 650258
- This means no updates for aurora unless there are code/l10n changes. Need to advertise this on the channels blog?
