New

  • Add the search field to the new tab page

  • OdinMonkey: Use backtracking allocator for asm.js style code

Fixed

Changed

  • Removal of the CAPS infrastructure for specifying site-specific permissions (via capability.policy.* preferences). Most notably, attempts to use this functionality to grant access to the clipboard will no longer work. The sole exception is the checkloaduri permission, which may still be used as before to allow sites to load file:// URIs.
