Please take a look at the feature list and get things missing added, and update status for things you own: Firefox3.1/Features#Gecko_1.9.1
See the security review schedule page to get your review scheduled ASAP!

GFX blocking 1.9.1+
GFX wanted 1.9.1+
Downloadable fonts:
- Reviews/patches progressing
- First security review should be happening soon -- scheduled?

Working on various 1.9.1 blockers
Working to remove incorrect fs stat caches, goal is to avoid bad stat data which could cause all manner of filesystem issues for nsIFile users
Plugin work, in pursuit of plugin testing framework, accessibility fixes, and Cocoa event model
- Working on NPAPI headers set for consistency (WebKit and Gecko should expose and build off of the exact same set of headers)
- working on NPAPI SDK including sample plugins
- working on incorrect native events attached to synthesized DOM events
- working on a spec to allow for plugins to not eat events when they don't handle them

1.9.1 Layout Bugs
Video (roc/cdouble):
Acid3
- Numeric tests
  - trunk now at 87/100
    - bug 450160 landed
  - patches currently in bug 302775, bug 433533, bug 174351, bug 454325, bug 178258, and bug 216462 (with --enable-smil or equivalent modification of patch) get us to 97/100
  - missing 3 points (#77, #78, #79) for lack of SVG fonts (bug 119490) and one other SVG bug (bug 456282)
  - intermittently (but quite rarely) missing 1 or 2 points (#26, #27) for bug 335998 (GC timing and nodes owning parents)
- Layout tests
  - white X on purple and red background in upper right is due to lack of support for downloadable TTF fonts (bug 441473, etc.; I think the current patch fixes this on Windows and Mac OS X only)
- Smoothness
  - Currently too slow on #26 and perhaps others (although probably not, per bug 410460, comment 54)
- Favicon
  - favicon.ico is displayed as the favicon, despite being a 404 result (bug 281150)
SMIL (dholbert):
- Addressing design-simplification review comments from roc
- Posting updated patch for further review today, probably.
