    The SVG text improvements (decorations etc., from bug 655877) aren’t available just yet. Many of the patches have landed, but there are still a couple left.

    Just upgraded aurora and now hacks.mozilla.org doesn’t have any css applied.

    Not happening on any other site I’ve visited since updating.

    When polishing a software, sometimes one looses the eye for big things, e.g.:
    When will “Vertical Tabs with Panorama grouping” aka AddOn “Pano” become a native feature?
    It’s a noble task to boost performance, but at the moment the biggest launch time hog is the (unmaintained) Pano AddOn blocking tabs until the active page is on display.

    Thanks for all the good work anyway!

      Panorama isn’t really considered a high priority target for them even though it desperately needs love.

        Yes indeed.

        Mozilla has a habit of hyping the **** out of new features, releasing them half-baked then forgetting about them.
