- All binary add-ons
- All strict incompatible add-ons

Use Cases to Test
- 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.
