I post these updates every 3 weeks to inform add-on developers about the status of the review queues, add-on compatibility, and other happenings in the add-ons world.

The Review Queues

  • Most nominations for full review are taking less than 6 weeks to review.
  • 165 nominations in the queue awaiting review.
  • Most updates are being reviewed within 3 weeks.
  • 96 updates in the queue awaiting review.
  • Most preliminary reviews are being reviewed within 3 weeks.
  • 136 preliminary review submissions in the queue awaiting review.

If you’re an add-on developer and would like to see add-ons reviewed faster, please consider joining us. Add-on reviewers get invited to Mozilla events and earn cool gear with their work. Visit our wiki page for more information.

Firefox 29 Compatibility

    Is a new SDK coming anytime soon? I see there is a new child_process API (and one or two other new ones as I recall) which is not compiling under SDK 1.16…

      The SDK is released with Firefox now, and I don’t know about the schedule for specific APIs. You can ask here.

      Brett: yes, SDK 1.17 is on the agenda for tomorrow’s team meeting, for the reasons you’ve given: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Jetpack/Weekly_Meeting/2014-07-01.
