Firefox 16.0.1 is now in the repositories.

An add-on compatibility problem was recently discovered in Firefox 16. It is 
present in Firefox 16 and above, and we#8217;re currently investigating it.

The problem is that the window load event handler that many add-ons depend on 
isn#8217;t fired under some circumstances. So far it appears that this only 
happens when a popup window is opened, and only in cases where the domain in 
the new window is different from the one that opened the window. Since most 
add-on scripts rely on the load handler being called, many of them will not 
work in the newly opened popup window. There#8217;s more information about 
this in bug 799348.

At the moment we consider the impact of this bug to be fairly minor, so it 
won#8217;t be fixed until Firefox 17 unless there are sufficient reasons that 
merit the creation of a 16.0.1 update. If your add-on is affected by it, please 
let us know how in the comments.
