Mozilla to Firefox Add-On Developers: Stop Being Lazy

By Scott Loganbill November 13, 2008 Categories: Software & Tools

Mozilla evangelists are starting to develop tools to track Firefox’s very healthy add-on ecosystem, primarily with regard to how they adapt to upcoming Firefox versions.

In fact, the newest Firefox version, 3.1, is already in the hopper, but according to a Mozilla blog post, add-on developers aren’t ready for it. Only 20% of the most-used Firefox add-ons are ready for the upcoming version.

Like any good Webmonkey, I’ve never one to wait for even a release candidate. I’ve been testing the speedy Firefox 3.1 beta (that’s right, with its experimental Tracemonkey JavaScript engine turned on) for a solid month now and I’m not willing to wait for any add-on. So get on it developers, with a quickness.
