    • All binary add-ons
    • All strict incompatible add-ons
    • All blacklisted add-ons
  • The Feature is planned for Firefox 10.

  • 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.
