Firefox 4 is gearing up for full launch! We’re really excited about Firefox 4, with a streamlined Add-ons Manager, and numerous other performance and UI improvements.<\/p>\n

Firefox 4 Beta is now API frozen, so if you haven’t already done so, please make sure your add-on is compatible. Firefox 4 is a significant upgrade that may require a little more work to be done to make sure your add-on works than in previous Firefox releases.<\/p>\n

Jorge Villalobos has outlined the changes<\/a> to Firefox 4 that may affect add-on compatibility. If you have any further questions, or concerns, or know of any breaking changes that are not listed, please post in this forum thread<\/a>, or join #extdev on irc.mozilla.org<\/a> for real-time assistance.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget, Firefox 4 Beta for mobile is available in the Android Market and preparing for final release. Learn more <\/a>about how to make your add-on mobile compatible.<\/p>\n

Firefox 4 Add-on collection competition<\/h2>\n

To celebrate Firefox 4’s arrival, we are launching a new add-on collection, which will showcase some of the best add-ons for Firefox 4. The collection will be promoted for two months after Firefox 4 is launched, through the Add-on Manager, our Add-ons Gallery, Facebook, the Rock Your Firefox blog, and through Twitter, among other channels.<\/p>\n

To have a chance of being featured in the Firefox 4 add-on collection, once your add-on is ready – email us at fx4-compatibility@mozilla.com<\/a> with “Add-on competition” in the subject line, a link to your add-on, your name, and a brief description of your add-on’s functionality. The winning 10 add-ons, as chosen by the Mozilla Add-ons team, will be promoted from the Firefox 4 launch day.<\/p>\n

Get your entries in by March 6th 2011<\/strong>. If you win, we’ll reach out to you to let you know shortly before the launch of Firefox 4. Download the contest rules here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
