Known Issues
| Problem | Workaround |
| After creating a library and then adding a module to it, you can't select the module to enter its code (bug 574442). | After adding the module to the library, reload the editor, then select the module. |
| Pressing the Save button while editing a library sometimes displays "Error 403 - FORBIDDEN - There is already a revision with that name" (bug 574447). | Click the name of the library to open the Edit Info dialog. Delete the value of the Version field and press the OK button. Then press the Save button again. |
| Changing the name and description of an add-on or library in the Edit Info dialog and then pressing the OK button in that dialog doesn't change the name of the add-on/library in the editor interface, and the changes are lost when you close the editor (bug 573858). | After changing the name/description and pressing the OK button to dismiss the dialog, press the Save button on the editor toolbar. |
| When you press the Test button for an add-on, nothing happens, and the Firefox Error Console reports a "result not defined" error. | Open the Add-ons Manager (Tools > Add-ons) and uninstall the obsolete Mozilla FlightDeck add-on, pressing its Remove button and then restarting the browser. Then reload the page on which you pressed the Test button and press it again. |
| When you press the Test button for an add-on, and builder prompts you to install an add-on, and you install it and then press the Test button for an add-on again, builder prompts you to install the add-on again instead of loading the add-on into your browser (bug 574685). | Reload the page, then press the Test button again. |
| There is no way to remove an add-on or make it private. | |
| When browsing recent add-ons, the Test buttons for add-ons display JSON instead of loading the add-ons in your browser (bug 574829). | Press the View Source button to view the source of each add-on you want to test, then press the Test button in the View Source page to load the add-on in your browser. |
| Some of the documentation for the core library APIs (f.e. context-menu) is incomplete. | Browse the equivalent documentation for the Jetpack SDK (f.e. context-menu). |
