The Burning Edge

Security fixes:

• Fixed: 281988 - Stop sharing DOM object wrappers between content and chrome. Move XPCNativeWrapper from JavaScript to C++, add "xpcnativewrappers" option for packages. (Makes it much easier to write chrome code and extensions that interact with page content without introducing security holes.)

Fixes for regressions:

• Fixed: 294630 - Crash when closing tab with picture.
• Fixed: 294258 - Reload clears form values, incorrectly (with fastback enabled?).
• Fixed: 294150 - 50% Ts regression since landing of bug 293461 (since May 12).
• Fixed: 294324 - Scrolling performance regression(since May 16).
• Fixed: 293070 - Ordered lists (<ol> tags) inside <font> display all 0s.
• Fixed: 262031 - Contextmenu of about:config does not close when create a new preference name.
• Fixed: 293453 - Unable to click link when inside div with overflow:auto and border-top.
• Fixed: 294235 - http://www.powweb.com/ crashes Firefox [@ nsHTMLDocument::MatchLinks].
• Fixed: 292657 - [GTK2] Drop-down selection box with CSS height attribute "drops down" at top left corner of screen (0,0).

Other fixes:

• Fixed: 285653 - Add Reporter tool to nightly builds. (To access, use Help > Report Broken Website. Currently pointed at test instance of Reporter server. Bugs in Reporter, Search reports of broken websites, Asa's blog entry.)
• Fixed: 294399 - Rebrand firefox for deer park. (When Firefox is built without --enable-official-branding, it now calls itself "Deer Park" rather than "Gecko Browser". I think this is temporary.)
• Fixed: 263595 - Remove "Use Firefox Start as my Home Page" from installer.
• Fixed: 293548 - Provide Windows registry install location for extensions.
• Fixed: 292981 - Provide a (much more complete) scriptable interface to the Windows registry.
• Partially fixed: 294357 - Firefox and Thunderbird load a lot of trash in the registry and don't clean it up again.
• Fixed: 267657 - Clicking SVG link causes new window to open.
• Fixed: 294815 - Possible to create a <browser> with no securityUI by accident. ("this.docShell is null" error in browser.xml with certain extensions installed.)
• Fixed: 264064 - Lose secure site indicators when customizing toolbars.
• Fixed: 38174 - List numbers and bullets ignore FONT changes.
• Fixed: 290969 - [Mac, Linux] XMLHttpRequest leaks memory (all) and eventually crashes.

Most serious bugs that occur only when the experimental "fastback" feature is enabled:

• With fastback on: 292933 - Info. popup box on tinderbox display wrong details.
• With fastback on: 292934 - Favicon not updated when going back/forward in tab.
• With fastback on: 293235 - When using the back button (or keyboard), visited links are not marked as visited.
• With fastback on: 294231 - With fastback on, clicking back on your mouse while viewing a PDF causes FF to hang.
