-== Description ==
-Content scripts are JS scripts that run in content, but are provided by the browser, rather than by the website. Currently this is provided by addons ([https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/748/ Greasemonkey], and [[Labs/Jetpack/JEP/17|Jetpack has it planned]]). Ideally, Firefox should support this natively.
-== Rationale ==
-This is a spin-off from the [[Firefox/Sprints/Jetpack_Uplift_Exploration|exploration of Jetpack uplift]]. Content scripts is one of the first steps in providing developers with open-web tools to augment the browsing experience. While this is a step toward accomplishing the end-goal, the implementation is separate from Jetpack, and therefore a separate sprint.
