The latest phase of our add-on compatibility plan has arrived in Aurora, and we need your help to test it! Since Firefox 4, we have been automatically making add-ons hosted on AMO compatible with new Firefox releases. Now, we have extended automatic compatibility to non-hosted add-ons, which account for 75% of all add-ons in use (currently in the hundreds of millions). This means you should see less of the incompatible add-ons dialog, and more of your add-ons should just work.<\/p>\n

You can read more about the plan, including how we determine eligibility for automatic compatibility here<\/a>. For additional background reading, check out this blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you have Aurora installed, all add-ons that are compatible with Firefox 4 or later can be installed without extra steps. Firefox will install them even if they are declared incompatible in the manifest file.<\/p>\n

If you don’t already have Aurora installed, you can get it here<\/a>. With Aurora, you\u2019ll see our newest features before they go beta, and have a chance to send us feedback before the final release.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Please send us feedback or file bugs on the new default to compatible feature here<\/a>. We look forward to hearing from you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
