We believe add-on development should be more like web development: the same code should run in multiple browsers according to behavior set by standards, with comprehensive documentation available from multiple vendors. To this end, the Web Extensions API was [https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/ introduced] in Sept 2015 as the new standard for developing Add-ons. | |||
