[Bug 264851] Re: FF Feature-Freeze Exception (for 3.1) -- Intrepid

[Mik3]

** Summary changed:

- Feature-Freeze Exception (for 3.1) -- Intrepid 
+ FF Feature-Freeze Exception (for 3.1) -- Intrepid

** Summary changed:

- FF Feature-Freeze Exception (for 3.1) -- Intrepid 
+ Firefox Feature-Freeze Exception (for 3.1) -- Intrepid

** Description changed:

  Firefox 3.1 is a significant release, in that it provides the following:
  
      * Much lighter memory footprint compared to previous Firefox versions -- ties in with next point...
      * Updated JavaScript engine: Tracemonkey. Highly optimized for speed, and garbage collection.
      * Fixes many stability issues with Flash, and many annoyances with flash video playback are gone.
      * Resistant to random website crashes, including script-heavy ones that have been prone to crashing under 3.0.x
      * Highlighting and Dragging text/images/etc actually works -- in previous version, selecting large elements such a images or large blocks
        of text was unusable, and frankly, it looked ugly due to the lack of anti-aliasing ... all fixed and working smoothly.
-     * Ctrl+Tab cycles between browser tabs, like a window manager.
+     * Ctrl+Tab cycles between browser tabs (With Preview, like a window manager.)
  
  If 3.1 were to be accepted, it would likely mean shipping a beta in Intrepid Ibex.
  (Though I would like to note further, I reckon it would be an extremely solid beta if the pre-beta is anything to judge by. "Reasonable fashion"? It's almost indestructible.)
