I flagged a warning nearly three weeks ago that Mozilla will be revamping their add-ons site. I also, fell into the panic/rush of things to download the XPI files of my favorite add-ons. But for the past few weeks, we see no changes on the site.

Mozilla addresses that with a link to their webdev blog citing the updates on their new site. Here’s their new schedule for things:

  • March 5 – Migrate the add-ons database and update preview.addons.mozilla.org
  • March 5-12 – Community testing of preview.addons.mozilla.org, ongoing bug fixing and polishing
  • March 12-15 – Final bug fixes and adjustments based on community testing and feedback
  • March 15 – Deployment of new addons.mozilla.org

We can all test the new site via: preview.addons.mozilla.org
