We&#8217;re also adding another contractor to our team, hopefully soon.<\/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 42 Compatibility<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2015\/10\/02\/compatibility-for-firefox-42\/\">compatibility blog post<\/a> is up. I filed the validator bugs today, so we&#8217;ll probably run the bulk validator sometime next week.<\/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>Changes in let and const in Firefox 44<\/h3>\n<p>The latest Nightlies include <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2015\/10\/14\/breaking-changes-let-const-firefox-nightly-44\/\">some breaking changes<\/a> that you should all be aware of. Please read the post carefully and test your add-ons on Nightly.<\/p>\n<h3>Extension Signing<\/h3>\n<p>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. The current plan is to turn on enforcement by default in Firefox 43.<\/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.<\/p>\n<h3>Web Extensions<\/h3>\n<p>If you read Kev&#8217;s post on the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2015\/08\/21\/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons\/\">future of add-on development<\/a>, you should know there are big changes coming. We&#8217;re investing heavily on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/WebExtensions\">new WebExtensions API<\/a><\/strong>, so we strongly recommend that you start looking into it for your add-ons.
