Firefox Add-on Compatibility Reporter
Yesterday Mozilla has released a new extension called “Add-On Compatibility Reporter”. As you might guess, it does report whether installed add-ons work or have some issues with alpha and beta releases.
Here’s what they say about it:

Recommended for alpha and beta users only.
