I disagree. The folks at Mozilla are not so quietly encouraging developers to get involved in the alpha and beta releases to ensure that things do work on day one of a release? How much work was done up to October 27 ensuring that your add-on was ready to go?

Sorry Sanddancer but my experience as an add-on author is that writing free add-ons can quickly turn to a demanding job.

For example, if you look at the tab mix plus add-on source code you can find a very long list of workarounds to make it work in different contexts.
