Details

The error message displayed on the compatibility results page is currently: Error: The file "platform/WINNT/components/FoxyTunes.dll" has a flagged file extension. Error: The extension of this file is flagged because it usually identifies binary components. Please see http://addons.mozilla.org/developers/docs/policies/reviews#section-binary for more information on the binary content review process. This is good for submission but not for compatibility. The compatibility error should be something like "Add-ons with binary components must have their compatibility manually adjusted after testing."
