Add-ons that include a custom update URL and do not provide either of the previous methods of retrieving a secure update manifest must not mark themselves as compatible with Firefox 3. During install a check will be performed to ensure that it meets the requirements and Firefox will refuse to install any add-ons that do not. Add-ons that do not provide updates and so do not include and update URL, and add-ons that use the default URL for update from AMO will be allowed to install as normal. | Add-ons that include a custom update URL and do not provide either of the previous methods of retrieving a secure update manifest must not mark themselves as compatible with Firefox 3.

When Firefox refuses to install such add-ons the error message will likely be very simple, quite probably the standard incompatible message. However extra information about the reasons for the installation failure will be logged from the extension manager in the usual way. | When Firefox refuses to install such add-ons the error message will likely be very simple, quite probably the standard incompatible message.
