Add-on Compatibility Reporter

Want to help your good friends at Mozilla do a little add-on testing?

Does you Firefox add-on need updating?

It takes a lot of work to see if add-ons still work or not, so you can do your part by installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter.  Help the Firefox team make sure your favorite add-ons get updated for upcoming Firefox releases with this tool. 

Here is a little more about the add-on from the Mozilla team:

After installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, your incompatible extensions will become enabled for you to test whether they still work with the version of Firefox or Thunderbird that you’re using. If you notice that one of your add-ons doesn’t seem to be working the same way it did in previous versions of the application, just open the Add-ons Manager and click Compatibility next to that add-on to send a report to Mozilla.

Also worth mentioning is that Mozilla only recommends this add-on for alpha and beta users only. So if you like to stay on the cutting edge, this add-on is for you. You can pick up the Add-on Compatibility Reporter on the Firefox Add-ons web site.

    Erratum - I wrote too quickly! - Obviously this extension is intended for Firefox 3.6 Beta testers only, otherwise it doesn't make any sens!
    Latest 3.6 beta : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

    @alexsupra, I believe this extension is mainly intended for Firefox 3.6 releases, so using it from a Firefox lower than 3.5 seems inappropriate, IMHO.
    For the extension itself, I will install it when switching to Firefox 3.6, since I am not testing 3.6 betas. The idea s smart.
  • i decided to check this mozilla firefox extension (addon) and the first problem i met is incompatibility with mine just updated firefox 3.0.15.
    but i downloaded it via https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downlo... and fixed it a little (its possible with using of such tools as 7zip and notepad2).
    as a result i got working Add-on Compatibility Reporter on firefox 3.0.15. but now i cant find the way how to report that Add-on Compatibility Reporter addon is compatible =)
