 *If you want to request a new WebExtensions API, please read [https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/NewAPIs this page].
-[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Embedded_WebExtensions Embedded WebExtensions] - Up until Firefox 57 you can embed a WebExtensions add-on inside an existing SDK or bootstrapped add-on. This is especially useful to developers of SDK or bootstrapped add-ons who want to start migrating to WebExtensions and take advantage of new APIs like Native Messaging, but can’t fully migrate yet. It’s also useful for developers who want to complete data migration towards WebExtensions, and who want to take parts of their add-on that are not compatible with [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Multiprocess_Firefox multiprocess Firefox] and make them compatible.
 Not all add-ons will be able to migrate to WebExtensions without having to drop any features. But we want to work with you to get as many add-ons migrated as possible with the functionality you created intact. We invite you to contribute to its evolution, and we look forward to [[Add-ons/developer/communication#Get_in_Touch|working with you]].
