The blog post for Firefox 50 should come up in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Going back to the recently released Firefox 48, there are a couple of changes that are worth a reminder: (1) release and beta builds <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2016\/07\/29\/extension-signing-availability-of-unbranded-builds\/\">no longer have a preference<\/a> to deactivate signing enforcement, and (2) <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2016\/08\/02\/multi-process-firefox-and-add-ons-a-call-to-action\/\">multiprocess Firefox is now enabled<\/a> for users without add-ons, and add-ons will be gradually phased in, so make sure you&#8217;ve tested your add-on and either use WebExtensions or set the multiprocess compatible flag in your add-on manifest.<\/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> 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>The <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Addons\/Extension_Signing\">wiki page on Extension Signing<\/a> has information about obtaining the unbranded builds to test on release and beta. We will try to make them easier to get to, but for the most part the Firefox 48 release marks the end of deploying this change, after years of work.<\/p>\n<h3>Recognition<\/h3>\n<p>We would like to thank these people for their recent contributions to the add-ons world: <a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/u\/robwu\/\">Rob Wu<\/a>, NilkasG, and h4ever.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about their contributions in <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Add-ons\/Contribute\/Recognition\">our recognition page<\/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.
