I doubt that anybody can answer that right now, and not without knowing 
what your extension does. There is still the visual refresh coming up, 
as well as other UI changes.
I wouldn't exclude that we still take some xpcom interface changes, 
dbaron has a good point to change some of the really internal ones.


 From a general perspective, we won't have a string freeze until b2, 
which says that pretty many UI things may still come.

On the real compat testing, I think that Michael gave a good answer, 
this is just to give you some idea of how valuable QA could be already.
