-- KNOWN ISSUES SECTION -------------------

<h3>All Systems</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>The Cairo graphics system has drastically changed the way all text and images are rendered from previous
            versions of Gecko, so occasional misrenderings of non-latin scripts and fonts may occur.</li>
        <li>The Phishing Protection notification bubble is hidden by the content area (see 
        <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341950">bug 341950</a>.)</li>
	<li>The preference to change, enable and disable the master password has been temporarily disabled (see <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390451">bug 390451</a>), which will also affect extensions which perform these operations.</li>
	<li>Users that keep a browser history longer than the default may experience a significant delay on first-shutdown, as the history table is rebuilt to fix (see <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371800">bug 390451</a>).More information is available in <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319455">bug 319455</a>.</li>
        <li>The History menu is sometimes slow to appear and react (see <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385397">bug 385397</a>).</li>
        </ul>
