Firefox 3.1 development state

Again a week passed by since the previous development state post. This week there not that much interesting bug fixes and no added features. This is also normal, because now it's time to iron every bug out. Notable is that JIT is finally on by default for content. That means is getting more and more stable for daily use. There was also several fixes for the <video> tag. For the testplans, there is an enormous progres. The number of existing testcases almost doubled. To bad there were added some testplans, leaving minor progression in the testplan completion. The passed testcases increased too and is almost at the 50%. (That is the number it should get before release of Firefox 3.1 beta 2).
