• Fixed: 300030 - Refactor intrinsic width computation out of nsIFrame::Reflow (land dbaron's reflow branch).

This is a huge change that David Baron has been working on for about two years. It involved changing 201 files, simplifying many of them: a diff showed 8726 insertions but 18253 deletions, for a net removal of 9000 lines of code. It improved speed on page load tests by 3-5% and fixed over hundred bugs, including:

• Fixed: 69745 - Auto-width left float containing only nested right float is too wide.
• Fixed: 129346 - Fieldset renders incorrectly with style="float: left;" or any other shrink-wrap situation.
• Fixed: 269643 - When clicking link, page redraws with different layout, click is ignored.
• Fixed: 291126 - Intrinsically sized (shrink-wrap, auto-width) absolutely positioned element containing right float is too wide.

The reflow branch landing fixed the last remaining issues with the Acid 2 test, so Firefox trunk now passes the test.

Other fixes:

• Fixed: 360493 - Allow users to disable password autofill without disabling password manager, using a hidden pref, for limited protection against certain holes in sites like MySpace.
• Fixed: 358764 - On Linux, make Backspace do nothing by default. (There is a hidden pref that controls whether backspace goes back one page, scrolls up one page, or does nothing.)
• Fixed: 347230 - Minimal "Save"-only dialog shown for files with discoverable types (known file extensions) (regression in Firefox 2).
• Fixed: 341872 - Download manager leaks helperApps.
• Fixed: 361070 - Implement SVG feBlend and feComposite.
• Fixed: 351253 - Search button misinterprets modifiers when clicked.
• Fixed: 339720 - Show warning page before showing about:config.

Fixes for recent regressions:

• Fixed: 355817 - [Mac] Some Cmd+Shift+letter shortcuts are broken.
• Fixed: 362812 - [Mac] Don't pass clicks down to controls for ctrl+click.

Trunk regressions:

• Since Nov 22: 361523 - [Mac] Form borders are too thick (even thicker than before).
• Since Nov 22: 361576 - [Mac] Underlines sometimes wrong thickness (or missing entirely).
• Since Nov 22: 361600 - [Mac] Flashing when switching tabs, opening the find bar, etc.
• Since Sept 29: 355352 - [Mac] While the app is running, if no browser windows are open, clicking on the app in the dock doesn't open a browser window.
