Dear add-on developers,
Firefox 4 is almost here!
Firefox 4 is almost ready for full launch! We're really excited about Firefox 4, with a new, streamlined Add-ons manager, and numerous other performance and UI improvements.
If you haven't already done so, please make sure your add-on is compatible. Firefox 4 is a significant upgrade with many changes that may require a little more work to be done to make sure your add-on works than in previous Firefox releases.

Jorge Villalobos has outlined the changes to Firefox 4 that may affect add-on compatibility. If you have any further questions, or concerns, or know of any breaking changes that are not listed, please post in this forum thread, or join #extdev on irc.mozilla.org for real-time assistance.

To celebrate the Firefox 4 launch, we are launching a new add-on collection, which will showcase some of the best add-ons for Firefox 4. The collection will be promoted for two months after Firefox 4 is launched, in our add-ons gallery, Facebook, the Rock Your Firefox blog, and through Mozilla's Twitter feed, among other channels.

To have a chance of being featured in the Firefox 4 add-on collection, once your add-on is ready - email us at fx4-compatibility@mozilla.com with "Add-on competition" in the subject line, a link to your add-on, your name, and a brief description of your add-on's functionality. The winning 10 add-ons, as chosen by the Mozilla Add-on team, will be promoted from the Firefox 4 launch day.
Get your entries in by Tuesday the 15th of February. If you do win, we'll reach out to you to let you know.
Good luck!
Add-on team
