Why doesn't Mozilla coordinate updates w/ Security Vendors like Kasperky!?

Every time Mozilla updates Firefox, it breaks my Kaspersky security add-ons. These add-ons are a crucial component of the privacy and security tools I have implemented to keep my computer free of malicious software, phishing attacks and other threats.

I am EXTREMELY disappointed that Mozilla does not coordinate updates with key security vendors such as Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton, etc. Why doesn't this happen!?

They're "adding on" to Firefox, so it's up to them to provide updates on Firefox schedule. There's no secret when Firefox updates are scheduled to be released, so it's just a matter of marking their calendar and making sure that they are ready when Mozilla releases the Firefox update. The Beta and Alpha (both Nightly and Aurora) are available for anyone who wants to test them with their add-on to ensure that "their stuff" is still compatible with upcoming Firefox releases.

The schedule for Firefox 26 thru Firefox 30 release dates, plus all the Beta and Alpha release dates.
