What users should know about Jetpack add-ons [Firefox]

In this post I want to talk about Jetpack’s limitations and users’ expectations. Jetpack or Add-on SDK is a tool that makes it easy to make a Firefox add-on(a restartless add-on). If you know JavaScript, HTML and CSS, you can make an add-on. But you can’t do anything you want with Jetpack, not yet.

ContextMenuPlus 1.1 released


{0}

ContextMenuPlus 1.1 was released for recovering preferences that was stored by version 1.0. ContextMenuPlus 1.0 used Add-on SDK 1.4 which had a bug that stored preferences in the wrong place.

This recovery will be done automatically and does not require any action from users. If you are using ContextMenuPlus 1.0, the only thing you need to do is upgrading it to version 1.1.
