This will likely be the most difficult upgrade   path for add-on developers in the history of Firefox, so everybody   should keep an eye on beta updates and all the documentation that will   be published around them. At the moment these are the most useful   documentation resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en\/Firefox_4_for_developers\">Firefox 4 for developers at MDC<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2010\/08\/31\/compatibility-firefox-4-beta-4\/\">Firefox 4 Compatibility blog post<\/a> (New, beta 4 edition!).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.addons.mozilla.org\/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=1437\">Firefox 4 Compatibility discussion<\/a> in the Add-ons Forum. This is the best place to post any feedback, bugs   or insight surrounding Firefox 4 and add-on development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ll do my best to keep everybody up to date with breaking changes in   Firefox 4, and I will   post a new compat update when we&#8217;re closer to RC1. In the   interim I&#8217;ll use these reports to post all the new (sometimes   unconfirmed) feedback I&#8217;ve received, with as much information I have at   hand. Here are the notes I have so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Toolbar customization. There&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/show_bug.cgi?id=554279\">bug in toolbar customization<\/a> that can revert changes performed by users. Note that the bug can be triggered by add-ons that access certain   browser features before the onload event is fired. If this is the case   for your add-on, please read the comments on the linked bug carefully.<\/li>\n<li>From Mook: <em>How do I override a contract ID dynamically, and   forwarding things to  the old implementation (essentially wrapping it)   so only behaviour I  specifically care about get modified?<\/em> Is this something that the new XPCOM registration method won&#8217;t support?<\/li>\n<li>From Christopher Finke: app tabs can be toggled using <em>gBrowser.pinTab(tab);<\/em><\/li>\n<li>From Raphael: the content context menu is broken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Notes for Developers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2010\/06\/14\/improve-extension-startup-performance\/\"><strong>How to Improve Extension Startup Performance<\/strong><\/a>.
