A very punctual Mozilla is set to launch the latest version of its browser on January 31, 2012 as per plan. The new version is a traditional Firefox silent update infused with all the desired components, particularly the disabling of incompatible add-ons and advancement of the compatible ones. Add-ons from Firefox 4 or later will be compatible with Firefox 10.
Mozilla has been facing complaints regarding the incompatible add-ons which eventually hamper the browsing experience. The issue of incompatibility arose when Mozilla shifted to a faster release schedule. Most add-on developers could not keep up with the upgrades and either could not revamp their code or did not mark their extensions as compatible with the new browser.

When Mozilla launched Firefox 4, it introduced automatic marking of add-ons as compatible, though this feature was limited only to the extensions distributed through Mozilla's website. Firefox 10 has extended that feature to add-ons that are not from Mozilla.
Add-on compatibility assists Firefox's silent update which upgrades the browser in the background without the need for user's interaction. In September 2011, Justin Scott, who leads Mozilla's add-on team spoke of the trouble of add-on compatibility which tagged along with frequent releases. With automatic add-on compatibility in Firefox 10 that problem seems to have been taken care of. Further parts of the service will release with the future versions, with Mozilla planning to complete silent update with Firefox 13, reported to launch on June 5.
Alongwith Firefox 10, Mozilla will also launch Firefox 3.6.26, a security update for its two-year-old browser. Firefox 3.6 will retire from support in late April, but two more updates are set to launch before that happens.
