Add-ons Default To Compatible	In Progress	Lawrence Mandel	Virgil Dicu	Waiting for implementation

As majority of add-ons work from one version to the next without the need for developer maintenance, Firefox will mark addons compatible with new versions of Firefox by default, except for the following:
- All binary add-ons
- All strict incompatible add-ons
- All blacklisted add-ons

Feature implementation has been done on Add-on Manager side: bug 693901,bug 693899,bug 693897.

An add-on can have different states in a Firefox version: compatible-incompatible, enabled/disabled, pending restart, updated/in need of update.
User installs several types of add-ons on a Firefox version with one or more of the above mentioned states
When upgrading to a new version, Firefox will automatically set his add-ons to compatible with the new Firefox version, unless the installed add-ons are binary, blacklisted or strictly set to incompatible with the Firefox version.

Test cases based on this feature are listed in the following spreadsheet: Link
