However sometimes upgrades of add-ons are not found, but old versions apparently can be upgraded to be compatible with the new version (this is what it says in the Add-Ons panel). However this compatibility upgrade is not performed automatically, I have to go to the Add-Ons panel, upgrade manually, and restart FireFox again. This should be done automatically at the same time as the automatic upgrade of add-ons. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a new version of Firefox/MineField 2. Start it up 3. If there are upgrades of add-ons, choose to download them and restart FireFox/MineField Actual Results: Incompatible add-ons are disabled. If I go to the add-ons panel, some add-ons can be upgraded. For those to work I have to choose to do a compatibility upgrade and restart FireFox/Minefield. Expected Results: Compatibility upgrades should be applied automatically, or at the least the initial dialog should offer this.

Where is this "Add-ons" panel? Why is this an installer bug?

The add-ons panel is called through Tools > Add-ons. It's an installer bug because it happens when I install a new version of FF, or at least it should.

That is a first run issue on upgrade of the application and not an installer bug

Actually when you start a new version of firefox (new as in a different version number, not just a new nightly build) we do display a dialog about the add-ons that are incompatible with the new version and do a check for updated compatibility info for them and enable them if possible.

First, for me as a user, I don't know if this step belongs to the installer stage or the startup stage, and I don't care. As for Dave's remark, that's partly correct (and the thing I'm talking about). However this does not apply any necessary compatibility upgrade (whatever a 'compatibility upgrade' is, I'm not talking about a download of a new version).

This is probably due to the same issue as bug 424107
