Comment(by mikeperry):

 Replying to [comment:8 cypherpunks]:
 > Under what circumstances is a bug marked as "fixed"/"closed" in this
 list? Is the ultimate aim still to get (as many as possible of) these
 patches accepted in Firefox upstream? If so, is the upstream acceptance
 status of individual patches being tracked anywhere?

 Dearest cypherpunks,

 We're functioning as a prototype for privacy by design in private browsing
 modes. I have no spare time to deal with shepherding patches upstream. I
 am the only browser engineer we have, and I am still working on ensuring
 our prototype meets its design requirements:
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#DesignRequirements

 We maintain a canonical list of our Firefox patches at
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#firefox-patches.

 Either Mozilla decides they like our ideas, or they don't.
