Add-on reviewers are critical for our success, and can earn cool gear for their work. Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Add-ons\/Reviewers\">our wiki page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>Preliminary Review Removed<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2016\/08\/19\/a-simpler-add-on-review-process\/\">As we announced before<\/a>, we simplified the review process by removing preliminary review, making an add-on review a more straightforward pass\/fail decision.<\/p>\n<p>All add-ons on AMO have been migrated to the new system, so add-ons that were preliminarily reviewed before are now fully reviewed, but with the experimental flag on by default. We will send a notification email after we iron out some minor bugs that came up after the migration.<\/p>\n<h3>Compatibility<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2016\/09\/01\/compatibility-for-firefox-50\/\">compatibility blog post for Firefox 50<\/a> is up, and the bulk validation will be run in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p><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 <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en-US\/Add-ons\/Working_with_multiprocess_Firefox\">tested your add-on<\/a> 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>Recognition<\/h3>\n<p>We would like to thank Atique Ahmed Ziad, Surya Prashanth, weaksauce, zombie, jorgk, and Trishul Goel for their recent contributions to the add-ons world.
