    After considering the top issues, the release drivers have decided to ship a Firefox 10.0.1 to fix two issues:

    1) A top startup crash (bug is security locked because it's a crash)

    2) Java applets cause text areas to hang (bug 718939)

    The issue with the add-ons manager is unclear at the moment but looks fixable with a hotfix so it doesn't warrant a chemspill. I'm looking to see if we can blocklist the versions of AVG Safe Search that are causing the broken location bar behavior.

    All other issues need too much investigation to be actionable right now or were deemed not to be major enough and can wait until Firefox 11.

    Not entirely sure as it depends on if these builds pass QA. If everything goes to plan, I think we should see a release of the chemspill by Friday. That means that on Friday, we'd do a full release:

    Users on Firefox 9.0, 9.0.1, 10.0, 10.0ESR will be notified of an update. There will be no throttling of the chemspill.

    Another update: All Firefox 10 users on Android will also get an update to 10.0.1 because of the security issue. It shouldn't be a problem but it's just a headsup.
