To be able to work with this bug, we'd need to know what the problem is. Could you clarify the problem? Also a small reproducible test case (not a 5.37MB extension) would be helpful.

If you are looking for general questions please try the mailing list or IRC channels: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons#Getting_in_touch

Hi Guys,

Thanks a lot, i got the bug, actually it was because of some popup blown away, and i was trying to access components of it, giving me.

"can't access dead object" Exception, in version 53

but in 51 it was working fine.

It will be helpful, if you guys can help me to understand why it was not the case in version 51.

This bug tracker is track bugs and features going into Firefox, not general add-on support. Sorry, you'll have to get the example down to a reproducible test case and if its a bug in Firefox, open a bug.

In the meantime please try the IRC or mailing lists mentioned in comment 3.
