The compatibility bump to Firefox 10 was run last week, so any add-ons with compatibility under 10.* should be tested and manually upgraded in the Developer Hub, if possible.<\/p>\n<p>You can run the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/developers\/addon\/check-compatibility\">standalone compatibility tool<\/a> if you want to test your add-on yourself or if it isn&#8217;t hosted on AMO.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Features\/Add-ons\/Add-ons_Default_to_Compatible\">Add-ons Default to Compatible<\/a> feature is progressing, and we expect to land on Firefox 10 or 11. Once this is in place, your compatibility worries will be minimized, and we&#8217;ll be taking a more active role in letting developers know if their add-ons are incompatible with a new version of Firefox. This feature will be a big win for both developers and Firefox users, so we&#8217;re very excited about it.<\/p>\n<h3>Firefox 11<\/h3>\n<p>A compatibility blog post for Firefox 11 is coming up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I post these updates every 3 weeks to inform add-on developers about the status of the review queues, add-on compatibility, and other happenings in the add-ons world.
