Owner
- Name: ChristopherAillon
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 11
- Last updated: 03-MAR-2009

Detailed Description
Rebase Firefox to the latest 3.5 release. This involves a rebase of XULRunner to 1.9.1 as well, and includes rebuilds of some dependent packages.
Benefit to Fedora
There are many improvements to the code in the XR1.9.1/FF3.5 branch including some nice performance wins. It will also give Fedora the latest release in the new line of code and prevent us from having a stale release which could potentially be EOL'd by upstream during F11's lifetime.
Scope
Requires rebasing xulrunner and firefox packages to the latest versions upstream and rebuild several packages.
Test Plan
- Mozilla upstream has a great testsuite, run it on i386 and x86_64
- Work with Fedora QA to ensure that we have sufficient coverage
User Experience
- Browsing should be somewhat faster due to various improvements
- New private browsing mode
- Support for new web technologies such as the <video> and <audio> elements, the W3C Geolocation API, JavaScript query selectors, CSS 2.1 and 3 properties, SVG transforms and offline applications.
Dependencies
- xulrunner-1.9.1 (already in rawhide)
Contingency Plan
There is no turning back.
