Hi | |
As you might already know, Firefox 20 makes a major change in the | |
way that private browsing is implemented, and this change inevitably affects | |
add-ons that use it. | |
Add-ons that use private browsing must be repacked with SDK 1.14 | |
if they are to run on Firefox 20, and need code updates if they | |
want to be active in private windows. | |
See this blog post for more details, and the 1.14 private-browsing | |
docs for more on how to use the new APIs. | |
I've been going through the add-ons hosted on AMO that use | |
private-browsing, trying to work out what needs to happen for them | |
to work with Firefox 20/Add-on SDK 1.14. | |
In the case of your add-on "open-private-browsing", it won't work on | |
Firefox 20 without code updates: this is because in SDK 1.14 onwards, | |
add-ons have to explicitly opt into private browsing if they want to | |
see or open private windows. | |
*** | |
We will mark the version of your add-on on AMO as incompatible with | |
Firefox 20. You'll need to update the code and resubmit the add-on for | |
review, and we'll try to get the review done as quickly as possible. | |
*** | |
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me, or ask | |
on the Jetpack group. | |
Thanks! | |
