Tell Mozilla Which Addon Is Compatible And Which Is Not

If you are a fan of Firefox like me, you will probably use it for every other task you perform. But as you may have already experienced, with every new release of Mozilla Firefox several productive Mozilla add-ons becomes outdated. Like everybody, I also feel like reporting the developer to come up with an update. Luckily this time, Mozilla is providing us a way to do that with a compatibility reporter, using which you could speed up the updation process.

The concept is very simple, notify any outdated add-on to Mozilla and then they will inform the respective add-on developers about the compatibility issue.

Install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter from Mozilla Add-on gallery. After it is installed, all your incompatible add-ons will provide you with an option to report if they are working or not.

Open Tools > Addons in Mozilla. Then go to Extensions tab. Now for every add-on that isn’t working you will find a new “Compatibility” drop-down. Report the compatibility for that add-on using the drop-down.

Special Cases :

There maybe add-ons that work properly with the new release but has not yet been marked as compatible by their developers. In cases like this, please mark them as compatible. This will help Mozilla to notify the add-on developer to mark their add-on as compatible, which in turn, will ensure that other Mozilla fans also view this addon as compatible.
