Add-on Compatibility Reporter instructions
The Add-on Compatibility Reporter (ACR) is a 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, 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. 2. Install ACR version 102. 3. Test each add-ons functionality. 4. If the add-on does now work as it should (as specified in the add-ons information text or as compared to previous Firefox versions), mark it as "does not work" by selecting the "Compatibility" button. 5. Provide any information about the broken add-on in the dialog.
Testing Override list
Once an add-on on AMO (addons.mozilla.org) has been found as triggering problems in a Firefox version, AMO may report that the add-on is actually not compatible with the new version.
All add-ons from the override list below, should be now incompatible with Firefox.
