It includes a new review process among a ton of other  changes. <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2011\/01\/13\/new-developer-tools-review-process-are-live\/\">More information here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Nominations at the moment are being processed very slowly. The new  review system required hundreds of add-on developers to renominate their  add-ons, which has placed a large workload on the editor team. Nominations have been  delayed at least a couple of weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Most updates are being reviewed within 7 days.<\/li>\n<li>Most preliminary reviews are being reviewed within 15 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The Review Queues<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>These stats are taken from the <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.mozilla.org\/addons\/viewtopic.php?f=21&amp;t=2450\">last queue report<\/a>.

Most of the necessary documentation to upgrade your add-on for Firefox 4 is readily available:<\/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\/11\/11\/making-add-on-compatible-firefox-4\/\">Making your add-on compatible with Firefox 4<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.mozilla.org\/addons\/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 and bugs related to Firefox 4 and add-on development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beta 7 was the first release after the codebase went through        feature freeze. This means that no major changes are   going to be      performed, and add-ons that work correctly on current betas are likely      to work in the same way until the final release. Here are some  pending    issues of Firefox 4 compatibility that haven&#8217;t been addressed  in  other   blog posts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Since toolbar buttons are very important for developers and button sizes changed for Firefox 4, I wrote this analysis of <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2010\/12\/02\/toolbar-buttons-in-firefox-4\/\">toolbar buttons and icons in Firefox 4<\/a>. One problem was brought up in the comments, which triggered the creation of <a href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/show_bug.cgi?id=616472\">bug 616472<\/a>.  The bug and other related ones have been fixed on the latest betas. I&#8217;ll post an update on this topic very soon, so stay put.<\/li>\n<li>The Add-on Bar is supposed to appear automatically when a button or  other items are added to it. <a href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/show_bug.cgi?id=616419\">Bug 616419<\/a> was filed for this. It doesn&#8217;t look like it will be fixed soon, but an alternate solution is proposed in the comments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Notes for Developers<\/h3>\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>.
