     Sent some emails/comments on fingerprinting issues
     Disabled mingw builds because we were missing APIs, got them added
and re-enabled it
     Disabled jemalloc due to the alloc/dealloc mismatch :( Making a
minimal reproducer to ask Martin for help with a linker patch

acat:
    Last week:
        - Finished iteration of #28745 (torbutton cleanup/refactor) ->
probably more to be done but will wait for review
        - Reviews (#30800, #30849)
        - Investigated how to upstream patch for #26353, opened #31075
for that.
        - Investigated local network proxy bypass in ESR68 -> opened #31065.
        - Checked whether patch for
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1396224 fixed #21830 -
Copying large text from web console leaks to /tmp (nope)

    This week:
        - Ask bugzilla 1561636 for esr68 approval
        - Fix/upstream #21830 (with
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1396224 fixed it should be
easy).
        - Finish revision of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1561322 (l10n reviewer does
not like the original patch...)
        - Fix #29563 (css line-height revisted [at least zoom and
linux]) so that it can be upstreamed together with #23104 (bugzilla is
shared).

conflict with most recent master)
