    I hope that it is clear that “bug 245722 – Topcrash: On start after importing passwords” is not fixed.

    Talkback data after the fix was checked in shows that people are still crashing when importing IE data.

    Since ~Sept 30: Fixed: 262272 – Icon in location bar doesn’t clear when visiting site without favicon.

    So is this fixed or still broken?

  4. Jeff Walden Says:

    Bug 172962 is at least partially fixed on Linux. Clicking links from within the Mozillazine forums opens them in new tabs with the pref set, at the very least. window.open() isn’t fixed yet, but I believe I remember some patches coming through to do that for Linux, so it shouldn’t be too long — I’d guess a week to get everything in, two weeks to make sure it works as it should.

    Incidentally, Jesse, who realized bug 259708 was a security bug? I remember reading it a few days ago when it wasn’t marked as one, and I’ll admit it’s not immediately obvious that it’s a security bug on inspection.
