Comment 1

[Mathew Hodson]

On the page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/29 under Changes for add-on and Mozilla developers, it stll says "Non-Australis changes TBD." Presumably, that page needs to be updated too.

[Florian Scholz (Open Web Docs)]

I believe this is invalid. We're working on WebExtension docs and archiving old add-on docs.
