We don't anticipate that this release will cause any deprecations of other ways of building add-ons, although certainly we'd hope most resource will go into this release. | We don't anticipate that this release will cause any deprecations of other ways of building add-ons, although certainly we'd hope most resource will go into this release. | ||
= WebExtensions | = WebExtensions idea scratch pad = | ||
This is our area to free form work through upcoming ideas, a scratch pad for priority & planning | |||
*native.js - making it easy/faster for folks to prototype webextensions to build API’s | |||
**with this we can dev in 2 weeks and have big benefit from this for a long time. | |||
***goal: tested, prototyped, pushed into mozcentral when ready “ideatown for webextension api’s” (Philip, Andy, John G - since similar to ideatown) | |||
**timing: UX work after e10s interface [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1181835 bug 1181835] | |||
**what is in development? about:config list add-ons using native js | |||
*chrome parity | |||
*chrome add-ons porting | |||
**top 20 chrome add-ons run in Fx | |||
*firefox add-ons porting | |||
**top 20 firefox add-ons running in WebExtensions - criteria based on downloads, actual usage, ratings: typically adblockers, download managers, tab add-ons, etc. | |||
*eg: the SDK proposal from Luca | |||
*unique to Firefox features - get ideas in this cycle for next…. | |||
**driven by add-ons need | |||
**ex: Bug 1244789 - Support richer user interactions in the chrome.browserAction API (Giorgio dev side / aswan andy would like to help engage here, madhava, markus) | |||
*[https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/GoFaster go faster] - early feasibility planning starting | |||
**feasibility (can we do it, difficulty, when good time) | |||
**open issues as it's ramping up (laura's team) | |||
*runtime.connectnative | |||
*Styling & sort order - UX is lower priority for now | |||
