About
Add-on Builder is a web application for building Firefox add-ons. Version 1.0a4 is the fourth preview release of the application. Our primary goal for this release was to fix a variety of bugs in the existing feature set.
Notable Enhancements
- The embedded Bespin editor has been upgraded. It is now faster and sports a command line for quick access to editor functionality.
- It is now possible to hide your add-ons/libraries from other users of the site. Just press the Disable button for the add-on/library in the lists of your add-ons/libraries.
- When you are testing an add-on and save a new version, Add-on Builder now loads the new version into your browser automatically.
Known Issues
| Problem | Workaround |
| 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, bug 586109). | Reload the page, then press the Test button again. |
| 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). |
| If you don't specify a version for your add-on, Add-on Builder generates one that contains spaces, which AMO rejects because it is not a valid version per the toolkit version specification (bug 578609). | Specify a valid version for your add-on by clicking the name of the add-on in the top-left corner of the editor, entering the version into the Version field of the Edit Info dialog that appears, pressing the OK button in that dialog to dismiss it, and then pressing the Save button in the editor. |
