Detect and report broken add-ons

Summary

Starting with Firefox 10, add-ons will be marked as compatible by default.

Your help is needed in order to find any add-ons that could be broken following the feature's implementation in Firefox 10.

You can help by installing the latest Firefox 10 Beta and reporting any issues regarding the add-ons you have installed through the Add-on Compatibility Reporter add-on (see instructions below) or by logging a bug in the Extension Compatibility component of Bugzilla: Link

Add-on Compatibility Reporter instructions

The Add-on Compatibility Reporter (ACR) is an add-on through which Mozilla can gather data as to add-on compatibility for a particular version.

If you notice that one of your add-ons doesn't seem to be working the same way it did in previous versions of the application or that an add-on triggers a Firefox issue, just open the Add-ons Manager and click Compatibility next to that add-on to send a report to Mozilla.

  • 1. Use a profile with add-ons installed in the latest Firefox 10 Beta.
  • 2. Install ACR version 102.
  • 3. Test the functionality of your add-ons and make sure it does not trigger any unwanted issues in the application.
  • 4. If an add-on does now work, mark it as "does not work" by selecting the "Compatibility" button.
  • 5. Provide any information about the broken add-on in the dialog.

If you find any add-on issue that prevents Firefox from working, you can also log a bug directly in Bugzilla in the Extension Compatibility component of Bugzilla: Link

Testing Override list

Once an add-on on AMO (addons.mozilla.org) has been found as triggering problems in a Mozilla application version, AMO may report that the add-on is actually not compatible with that Mozilla version.

All add-ons from the override list below, should be now incompatible with the specified Mozilla applications.

If you have checked any of the versions below and made sure they're not compatible in the application versions listed, please write the information up here:https://mozqa.etherpad.mozilla.org/DFT
