So please give it a read if you haven&#8217;t already.<\/p>\n<h3>The Review Queues<\/h3>\n<p>In the past month,\u00a0our team reviewed <strong>2,209<\/strong> listed add-on submissions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1202<\/strong> in fewer than 5 days\u00a0(54%).<\/li>\n<li><strong>173<\/strong> between 5 and 10 days (8%).<\/li>\n<li><strong>834<\/strong> after more than 10 days (38%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>235 listed add-ons<\/strong> are awaiting review.<\/p>\n<p>If you compare these numbers with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2017\/05\/15\/add-ons-update-95\/\">last month&#8217;s<\/a>, you&#8217;ll see a very clear difference, both in reviews done and add-ons still awaiting review. The admin reviewers have been doing an excellent job clearing the queues of add-ons that use the WebExtensions API, which are generally safer and can be reviewed more easily. There&#8217;s still work to do so we clear the review backlog, but we&#8217;re on track to being in a good place by the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>However, this doesn&#8217;t mean we won&#8217;t need volunteer reviewers in the future.

Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Add-ons\/Reviewers\">our wiki page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>Compatibility Update<\/h3>\n<p>We published the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2017\/05\/16\/compatibility-firefox-55\/\">blog post for 55<\/a> and the bulk validation script will be run in a week or so. The compatibility post for 56 is still a few weeks away.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en-US\/Add-ons\/Working_with_multiprocess_Firefox\">tested your add-ons<\/a> and either use WebExtensions or set the multiprocess compatible flag in your manifest to ensure they continue working in Firefox. And as always, we recommend that you test your add-ons on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/channel\/#beta\">Beta<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You may also want\u00a0 to review the post about <a href=\"https:\/\/hacks.mozilla.org\/2017\/04\/simplifying-firefox-release-channels\/\">upcoming changes to the Developer Edition channel<\/a>. Firefox 55 is the first version that will move directly from Nightly to Beta.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re an add-ons user, you 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 the following people for their recent contributions to the add-ons world:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tushar Saini<\/li>\n<li>harikishen<\/li>\n<li>Geoff Lankow<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Trishul Goel<\/li>\n<li>Andrew Truong<\/li>\n<li>raajitr<\/li>\n<li>Christophe Villeneuve<\/li>\n<li>zombie<\/li>\n<li>Perry Jiang<\/li>\n<li>vietngoc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can read more about their work in <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Add-ons\/Contribute\/Recognition\">our recognition page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s the monthly update of the state of the add-ons world.
