Overview

We believe that building out tools and processes for shipping Go Faster add-ons will enable Mozilla's engineers to get features and fixes to a larger audience sooner. We will know this is true when we see widespread adoption of system add-ons as a mechanism for moving faster and updating faster than the standard trains.
