Once Firefox 21 ships the version of Firefox you are using will always have the latest and greatest version of the SDK apis. What is more, add-ons packed with Add-on SDK 1.14 <em>will always prefer<\/em> the APIs embedded in Firefox if they exist, providing a forward-compatibility benefit to developers.<\/p>\n<p>We are working to update Add-on Builder and the Add-on validator on AMO within the next couple of days so that they properly support 1.14.

Firefox 20 replaces the existing private browsing &#8216;mode&#8217; with an new feature that allows users to open private windows. A significant amount of work has been done to make this work for SDK-based add-ons.<\/li>\n<li>Unique tab ids on both Android and Desktop Firefox, for easier tracking of specific tabs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find much more detail about SDK 1.14 in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Labs\/Jetpack\/Release_Notes\/1.14\">the release notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some interesting stats about this release ( from the Github history between the 1.13.2 &amp; 1.14 tags ):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>329 changes in 117 pull requests between tags 1.13.2 and 1.14<\/li>\n<li>Special thanks to our community contributors Brett Zamir, Cykesiopka, Dan Stevens, D\u01b0\u01a1ng, H.
