This will be the most difficult upgrade    path  for add-on yet, so everybody    should keep an eye on beta updates and  all the documentation that is being published. 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> (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>Beta 7 is the first release after the codebase has gone through feature freeze. This means that after this release, no major changes are going to be performed, and add-ons that work correctly on beta 7 are very likely to work in the same way until the final release. After beta 7 is out,\u00a0 I will be posting a very extensive view of Firefox 4 compatibility issues, including all that I&#8217;ve mentioned in previous posts. We will also be contacting all developers that have add-ons compatible with 3.6 and Firefox 4 betas, letting everybody know that they should be updating their code and Firefox 4 final is around the corner.<\/p>\n<h2>Notes for Developers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en\/XUL_School\/Appendix_A%3a_Add-on_Performance\">Add-on Performance at XUL School<\/a>.
