What is an experimental add-on?

Experimental add-ons are newer add-ons which have not yet undergone our public review process.  Many of these add-ons may be in prototype form.  Since they are untested by our editorial team, may be alpha, beta or pre-production in quality, performance and features.

Caution should be used when installing experimental add-ons, as they have not been tested by an editor and may harm your computer configuration.

How do I know an experimental add-on when I see one on the site?

Experimental add-ons are marked with an "experimental" label and show a warning when you install them.

Morgamic, can you reassign this to webdev for implementation with bug 441739?
