Make sure Jetpack's needs in Firefox and Platform are met.
Make sure Jetpack's needs in Firefox and Platform are met.
Jetpack's architecture under versions 0.8 and earlier (now called the Jetpack "prototype") is being abandoned for a new architecture nicknamed the Jetpack "reboot".  Check the [[Labs/Jetpack/Reboot|Labs reboot wiki page]] for details, but briefly, the differences between the two:
* The reboot has a security model, the prototype didn't.
* Extensions produced under the reboot are actually XPIs.  Under the prototype they were single JS files.
* The reboot is very loosely integrated with Firefox.  The Jetpack runtime is bundled in each XPI.  The only significant hook that these XPIs require is a no-restart-needed mechanism.
