Sorry all, a bad link slipped into this email.

The correct link for this update:

• The debugger now defers fetching call stack frames, which will be a nice perceived performance improvement bug 1594861

Is in fact: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1594861 and not a similar link on the bugzilla.com website (which I encourage you to visit anyway if you're into VW beetle cars).
