* [824523 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=824523>] The
bottom Firefox browser toolbar seems to be different in pinned
bookmarks than if you launch Firefox itself?
1) The one for webapps can be minimized to give more screen estate.
2) The normal browser has the back/forward buttons permanently
visible and there's no down arrow to hide them.

[818575 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=818575>] When
trying to use the marketplace, there is a persona based login. This
had several problems:
1) failed to scroll to the password window after entering email
address.
2) after entering the password, the keyboard stays up and there is a
big white area under the visible applications.
*Settings:*

Enabling wifi in the system tray launches the settings app, even
when connecting to an existing Access Point.
* [823757 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=823757>]
Dialer tone volume is too loud. It should respect the volume setting.
*Social/E.me:*
* [815925 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=815925>] Upon
trying to install twitter, got an error that it wasn't working

protocol "window".
* [821546 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=821546>]

send a picture with a txt message (no MMS support scheduled for v1)
* [807325 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=807325>] New
account signup field prefills "gmail", hiding what the field is for.
This doesn't seem very intuitive.
*Performance:*
* [814751 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=814751>]
Scrolling feels slow.
* [819091 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=819091>] My

Hopefully they fix the camera soon
* [824187 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=824187>]
Gallery does not support GIF files, so email app can't display GIF
files either.
* [823378 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=823378>] My
screen suddenly went "grey". Restarting the phone fixed the issue.

power button menu has no screenshot option.
* [822614 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=822614>]
