<h1>Experimental Add-ons</h1>


<h2>What is an experimental add-on?</h2>

<p>Experimental add-ons are meant for advanced users to test add-ons before they
are made available and reviewed for general use. Many add-ons may be in
prototype form. Experimental add-ons may be alpha, beta or pre-production in
quality, performance and features.</p>

<p>Caution should be used when installing experimental add-ons, as they have not
been tested by an editor and may harm your computer configuration.</p>


<h2>How do I know an experimental add-on when I see one on the site?</h2>

<p>Experimental add-ons are marked with an "experimental" label and require login
before you install them.</p>


<h2>Why do I have to log in to install an experimental add-on?</h2>

<p>The add-on site requires that users log in to install experimental add-ons as a 
reminder that you are about to undertake a risk step.</p>


<h2>Do I have to log in or need an account to install a public add-on?</h2>

<p>No. The add-on site does not require you to have a user account or to log in in
order to install a public add-on.</p>
