  • Did some reading on wrappedJSObject, XPConnect, and CustomEvents for bug 669260.
  • Updated the Media Controls Refresh wiki page with the current status.
  • Learnt how to use hg bisect to determine the changeset that caused the bug 689106 regression.
• In progress

Up next:

• Next week I hope to get review feedback on my patches as well as figure out our solution to bug 689106 (which will need to be upstreamed to Aurora).
• Begin work on porting some of the new video control features to our touch-UI (the control changes that make sense to port).
