* Does that mean the Firefox 5 beta release will be before the 5.* AMO compatibility bump?
** yes, quite likely. We expect to be ready to ship within a week of the merge, and since we're creating new tools for the AMO compatibility bump there's some risk to their date. After we've tested the beta merge and are ready to go we'll see where we are on the compatibility front before making the release decision.
** Current 5.* add-on compatibility is 29%, half our normal compatibility when we've shipped a beta. We don't know how this will impact uptake.
