GFX

• Have gfx ready to ship in 1.9.1 (meaning, nothing that we know about that would stop ship), including:
  • All blocking 1.9.1 bugs resolved
  • All P1 wanted 1.9.1 bugs resolved
• Prioritization of post-1.9.1 work

Mac OS X

• Make significant progress on Firefox 3 stability. Quantifying is difficult because of Socorro problems at the moment.
  • Crashers fixed in Firefox 3.0.x: 433997, 444128, 443024, 443455, 357670. 3 more about to land for 1.9.0.3.
• Fix all Mac OS X bugs blocking the Firefox 3 major update. This includes bug 357670 and bug 428405.
  • Major update shipped. Fixes for both bugs listed here have been landed for Firefox 3.0.2.
• Fix all Mac OS X platform bugs blocking a Gecko 1.9-based Camino release. This includes bug 433719.
  • Bug 433719 fixed on trunk, waiting for 1.9.0.3 approval. We don't know of any other trunk platform blockers for Camino.
• Be prepared to ship Cocoa event model for NPAPI in Firefox 3.1 (code in the tree). This is bug 435041.
  • Due to unforeseen difficulties this has been put off until after Firefox 3.1 and instead we have been working on other plugin-related tasks.
• Make a decision about how we'll support Java in Firefox 3.1 for Mac OS X and complete any coding required to support our decision.
  • Decision: OJI-based JEP, no change in how we support Java on Mac OS X in Firefox 3.1.
