" title="Mozilla Blog">rapid release cycle</a> which implies frequent rebuilds of XPCOM-based addons (such as Firetray)</li>
<li>authors are encouraged to <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.extensions/browse_thread/thread/2d6942c44f303b62/b98debfbccef11ed">port their XPCOM binary-based addons to js-ctypes</a></li>
<li>Francesco doesn't have enough time to maintain the Firetray project in this situation</li>
<li>Foudil has come up with a prototype js-ctypes version of the project, which is functional, but does not yet cover all features currently supported by the XPCOM version.</li>
<li>the js-ctypes version will endeavor to support uncovered features in the
future (see support page)</li>
<li>the Firetray project plans to replace the XPCOM version with the js-types version when enough features are covered</li>
<li>meanwhile, Firetray users are invited to switch to the preview release of the js-ctypes version (see beta channel below) and <a href="https://github.com/foudfou/FireTray/issues">provide feedback</a> as to what important features are missing</li>
