The Add-ons category is one of the most active in the community forum, so thank you all for your contributions! The <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.mozilla.org\/\">old forum<\/a> is still available in read-only mode.<\/p>\n<h3>The Review Queues<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Most<strong> nominations<\/strong> for full review are taking less than <strong>10 weeks<\/strong> to review.<\/li>\n<li><strong>308 nominations<\/strong> in the queue awaiting review.<\/li>\n<li>Most <strong>updates<\/strong> are being reviewed within<strong> 10 weeks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>127<\/strong><strong> updates<\/strong> in the queue awaiting review.<\/li>\n<li>Most <strong>preliminary reviews<\/strong> are being reviewed within <strong>12 weeks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>334 <\/strong><strong>preliminary<\/strong> review submissions in the queue awaiting review.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The unlisted queues aren&#8217;t mentioned here, but they are empty for the most part. We&#8217;re in the process of getting more help to reduce queue length and waiting times for the listed queues.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re an add-on developer and would like to see add-ons reviewed faster, <strong>please consider joining us<\/strong>. Add-on reviewers get invited to Mozilla events and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2012\/10\/17\/review-add-ons-and-get-gear\/\">earn cool gear<\/a> with their work. Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/AMO:Editors\">our wiki page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>Firefox 40 Compatibility<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2015\/06\/18\/compatibility-for-firefox-40\/\">Firefox 40 compatibility blog post<\/a> is up. The automatic compatibility validation will be run soon.<\/p>\n<p>As always, we recommend that you test your add-ons on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/channel\/#beta\">Beta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/channel\/#aurora\">Firefox Developer Edition<\/a> (formerly known as Aurora) to make sure that they continue to work correctly. End users can install the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/firefox\/addon\/add-on-compatibility-reporter\/\">Add-on Compatibility Reporter<\/a> to identify and report any add-ons that aren&#8217;t working anymore.<\/p>\n<h3>Extension Signing<\/h3>\n<p>We <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2015\/02\/10\/extension-signing-safer-experience\/\">announced<\/a> that we will require extensions to be signed in order for them to continue to work in release and beta versions of Firefox. The <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Addons\/Extension_Signing\">wiki page on Extension Signing<\/a> has information about the timeline, as well as responses to some frequently asked questions.<\/p>\n<p>A recent update is that Firefox for Android will implement signing at the same time as Firefox for Desktop. This mostly means that we will run the automatic signing process for add-ons that support Firefox for Android on AMO, so they are all ready before it hits release.<\/p>\n<h3>Electrolysis<\/h3>\n<p>Electrolysis, also known as e10s, is the next major compatibility change coming to Firefox. In a nutshell, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en-US\/Firefox\/Multiprocess_Firefox\">Firefox will run on multiple processes<\/a><\/strong> now, running content code in a different process than browser code. This should improve responsiveness and overall stability, but it also means many add-ons will need to be updated to support this.<\/p>\n<p>We will be talking more about these changes in this blog in the future. For now we recommend you start <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en-US\/Firefox\/Multiprocess_Firefox\">looking at the available documentation<\/a>.<\/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.
