- 309860

Shift to control whether the new tab is selected immediately).
- 303279 - Safe Mode: Use "safe" localstore.
- 304403 - Safe Mode: Better UE.
- 283598 - [Mac] New .dmg artwork with diagrammatic instructions.
New web developer features
- 309242
- E4X should be on by default, while preserving the comment hiding
hack. (Specify e4x=1 or JavaScript 1.6 if you want to include XML
comment literals.)
- 302462 - Support :valid, :invalid, :out-of-range, and :in-range pseudo-classes.

- 310976 - Treat 1.5.* as 1.5.infinity.
- 306478 - Extension manager should use xpinstall crypto hashes.
Notable bug fixes
- Fixes for several security holes.
- Fixes for several software-update bugs, including several that prevented updates from working.
- 279497 - Selected profile in profile manager does not always appear focused/highlighted.
- 300453
- 'Disable common annoyances' prevents focusing of designmode iframes.
(Disallowing scripts from raising and lowering windows also prevents
them from focusing frames. Also, sites like Gmail that focus iframes
also focus the window even though they're not trying to.)
- 295074 - POST responses remain in the memory cache when using XMLHttpRequest.
- 290381 - "Save Link As..." doubles the extension if the link contains an escaped hash/pound (#) sign encoded as %23.
- 267422 - Print Preview window is partly overlayed by background and is missing scrollbars.
- 305032 - Edit commands not available to subsequent instances on startup (cut, copy, paste, select all).
- 310458 - Edit commands not available to extensions window (cut, copy, paste, select all, arrow keys navigation).
- Back/Forward cache (fastback)
- 305462 - "Clear Cache Now" doesn't clear bfcache.
- 292965 - Improve eviction algorithm for bfcache.
- Windows-specific bugs
- 310957
- Switch Win32 SVG renderer from GDI+ to cairo. (This improves
cross-platform consistency of SVG rendering and eliminates the
requirement for Windows 98 users to download gdiplus.dll before they
can see SVG content.)
- Mac-specific bugs
- 171680 - [Mac] Modifier keys have no effect on mouse wheel.
- 309730 - [Mac] Tweak wheel+modifiers preferences on OS X.

- 266769 - [Mac] Parent window isn't movable / draggable when sheet is open.
- 228804 - [Mac] MathML rendering is worse on Mac OS X after adding Mathematica fonts in 1.3b and later.
- Linux-specific bugs
