Weeks before every Firefox release comes a huge effort from Mozilla encouraging add-on developers to make sure their extensions and themes are updated to work with the upcoming version. This often results in a last-minute rush of submissions right when the new version of Firefox and Thunderbird are released.<\/p>\n

As an experiment in ways to get users and developers involved with this process sooner, we’ve created the Add-on Compatibility Reporter<\/a>, an add-on for Firefox and Thunderbird that allows testers to report compatibility information to Mozilla.<\/p>\n

After installing the add-on, users will be able to use any incompatible add-ons they have installed and report back to us on whether the add-ons still work like they did in previous versions or are having some issues.<\/p>\n

Add-on developers can then browse the reports<\/a> submitted for their add-ons, even if the add-on isn’t hosted on Mozilla Add-ons. We’ll also be monitoring the report submissions and emailing developers when we have information as to whether their add-on might be compatible or incompatible with an upcoming Firefox release.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re an alpha or beta tester of Firefox or Thunderbird and want to help make sure your add-ons are compatible for the final release, grab the Add-on Compatibility Reporter<\/a> now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
