Firefox 34 附加组件兼容性

Firefox 34 will be released on November 25th. Here’s the list of changes that went into this version that can affect add-on compatibility. There is more information
available in Firefox 34 for Developers, so you should also give it a look.

General

• Get Firefox to launch with the new .app bundle structure.
   Because of new requirements in Mac OS internal application layout, some changes needed to be made in the structure of the application package.
  For add-on developers, it means that you might need to change your code if you referenced the special directory “GreD” to obtain access to  certain binaries in the Firefox package. Those binaries were moved to a new special directory “GreBinD”. Non-binary files should still be accessible through “GreD”.
• Remove localstore.rdf.
   As part of a larger effort to remove most RDF code from Firefox, the contents of localstore.rdf have moved to xulstore.json. This means your  add-on won’t work if you’re tapping directly into the RDF store for this data.
• Whitelist XBL bindings that may be applied to untrusted content. XBL binding declarations will need to include bindToUntrustedContent="true" if they should work in untrusted (web) content.
• JavaScript regular expression captures broken with alternation in some cases.

XPCOM

• Implement nsIDOMStorage with a proxy. This essentially adds a window argument to the createStorage function.
• Remove SetCharsetForURI and GetCharsetForURI from nsINavHistoryService. These functions can now be found in PlacesUtils, but they return a Promise instead of the value directly.
• Add an assertion to XMLDocument to ensure that that callingDoc and the doc have the same principal. In short, add-ons should be using XMLHttpRequest instead of XMLDocument to load documents.
• Merge nsIMarkupDocumentViewer into nsIContentViewer.
• Remove enumeration methods from nsICommandParams.
• Make min/max/bucket_count optional for nsITelemetry newHistogram() / registerAddonHistogram().

New!

• Import and use public domain JNI.jsm implementation.
   This is a useful module for Android add-on developers that need low-level access. It has been renewed with a more complete
  implementation. You can get the module with Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/JNI.jsm");

Please let me know in the comments if there’s anything missing or incorrect on these lists. If your add-on breaks on Firefox 34, I’d like to know.
The automatic compatibility validation and upgrade for add-ons on AMO will happen soon, so keep an eye on your email if you have an add-on
listed on our site with its compatibility set to Firefox 33.
