Based on a users suggestion on Reddit, we should add a large advertisement for Angry Birds to the Firefox new tab page.

Would the advertisement be a playable HTML5 (SVG SMIL or canvas) version of Angry Birds?

Would it also be Flash based?

I made a mockup. I think we should apply this patch RIGHT NOW before Fx7 ships.

Nice. Do we have to have that Mickey Mouse there as well though?

Have you started your angry birds browser recently?

Adding Reddit request thread for reference.

I hear Angry Birds has silent updates and a better version numbering scheme. We should definitely look into this.

This should also be controllable through PGO in our ESR release. You _do_ know browsers are for research only, right?

For iteration one, we'll simply add the Angry Birds logo to the new tab page.

Each subsequent release we should tweak the sizes of the Angry Birds logo to be much larger (and possibly include a button that says "GET ANGRY BIRDS NOW"), until we finally place it in a box with other partner logos. But those details should be for follow-up bugs.

The great Stephen Horlander created a nice mockup for this a while back, linking it here for historical purposes: http://people.mozilla.com/~shorlander/files/aboutHome-prototype-i03/aboutHome-prototype-i03.html

Mass bug change to replace various 'parity' whiteboard flags with the new canonical keywords. (See bug 1443764 comment 13.)

Angry Bridz is a bit too far into "How do you do, fellow kids?" territory these days. According to my notepad the kids these days are all into PUBG.
