These are the 0.9 bugs that didn't make it, and that I intend to fix in 0.9.1

Comment 2

re-targeting milestones, starting from a clean slate

Comment 3

marking the functionality blockers for immediate attention in mozilla0.9.1

Comment 4

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

I've figured out a way to do 79885 that doesn't use ReplaceSubString and is
likely to be faster anyhow; removing this from the blocker list.

The other blocker bug isn't gonna make 0.9.1 anyway (and it's not completely
impossible) that there'll be a good way to implement it without ReplaceSubString
either.  So if you wanna push this one out, go for it.

let's land this in 0.9.2. let drivers know if this creates problems. thanks.

Comment 7

[Scott Collins]

The fix to this bug is that we're going to replace the entire implementation of
|ReplaceSubstring| with the new |nsSubstituteC?String| generator.  See bug
#82456.  There's no perfect way to mark this bug for this resolution (it's not
FIXED yet, it's not INVALID, it's not WONTFIX).  We'll settle for making it a
dup of the new bug.
