Mozilla Firebird now includes Quality Feedback Agent (Talkback), allowing crash data to be sent back to the developers for analysis.

JavaScript Debugger (Venkman)

Venkman 0.9.67 has landed on the trunk (bug 203848). As well as bug fixes, this version includes a new tabbed views feature that allows views to be 'stacked'. Newer versions are available from the Venkman Development page.

Profiles

Backend changes have been made to allow profiles to be shared (bug 202474).

Navigator Startup, New Window and New Tab Behavior

The Preferences UI for controlling Navigator startup, new window and new tab behavior has been simplified (bug 201177).

Automatic Image Resizing

When hovering above an image that can be resized using automatic image resizing, a custom magnifying glass pointer is used (not currently supported on Mac OS X) (bug 189719).

Bookmarks

Importing and exporting bookmarks now works again (bug 200359).

nsITheme support is now built by default in GTK 2 Mozilla builds (bug 174471).
