Add-on Compatibility for Firefox 48

Firefox 48 will be released on August 2nd. Here’s the list of changes that went into this version that can affect add-on compatibility. There is more information available in Firefox 48 for Developers, so you should also give it a look.

General

XPCOM and Modules

New

Let me know in the comments if there’s anything missing or incorrect on these lists. If your add-on breaks on Firefox 48, I’d like to know.

The automatic compatibility validation and upgrade for add-ons on AMO will happen in a few weeks, so keep an eye on your email if you have an add-on listed on our site with its compatibility set to Firefox 47.

    This causes All-In-One Sidebar to be sluggish and bookmarks does not open in all-in-one sidebar but separate window.

    I’m on the latest El Capitan version on OSX if that is of any use.
