'''Project Description'''
WebExtensions have been working on Android for many releases, but the API is a little bit behind the Desktop version of Firefox. We’d like to improve the API on Android so that we can get some great extensions on Android.
This is a cool opportunity to contribute to a mobile project that ships to millions of users.
The WebExtensions API are mostly written in JavaScript, but someone working on this might need to dive down into Java or C++ in some cases. The expectation is that any API would be fully unit tested, so they’ll need to be writing some unit tests.
The list of things that we’ll be looking for are being worked on by other contributors so we’d to interact with those. But they include:
*[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/browsingData browsingData] - an API to remove data from the browser
*[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/contextMenus/ contextMenus] - an API to show context sensitive menus in Android
*[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/history history] - interaction with the users browser history
*[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/omnibox omnibox] - shortcuts in the browser address bar
