addons.mozilla.org Install Button FF 57- #8

Challenge

About the newer version of this add-on 0.3.3 for Firefox which uses WebExtension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-clipper-easy-screenshot/

It reads "Compatible with Firefox 57+" but presently users with Firefox older than 57 are able to install the extension. As a result it's risky that a large number of users will have issues.

Suggested resolution

On that page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-clipper-easy-screenshot/ I suggest to configure that page so that only users with Firefox 57+ are able to install it. The add-on maintainer is able to easily and quickly activate that feature. Assuming it works.

Steps to reproduce issue

  1. Using Firefox 45.9.0 go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-clipper-easy-screenshot/
  2. Click on "Add to Firefox" button. Find that screenshot to clarify location. The expected result is that users should not be able to click on that button. That button should be gray out/deactivated.
  3. After that add-on is installed. Try to use it. It will not work. Nothing works. That's normal because it requires Firefox 57+. It's risky that user will post a negative review. Which in turn affect the number of future user and contributors.

I think the WebEx version is only compatible with FF > 48.0. The AMO config was for FF > 42 which is now fixed.
