Focus on key APIs that bring the biggest return for investment. Currently these are: alarms, browserAction, extension, i18n, notifications, runtime, storage, tabs, webNavigation and windows APIs. For the full list, look at the tracking bug {{Bugzilla|1214433}}
The following links outline out APIs expect to be landing in what release:


== Development tools ==
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/RoadMapFirefox48 Up to Firefox 48]
 
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/RoadMapFirefox57 Up to Firefox 57]
Authors of WebExtensions add-ons should be able to develop easily their add-on locally, with support from tools like `jpm`. All APIs should be documented.
 
== AMO ==
 
WebExtensions will be able to be uploaded to addons.mozilla.org then reviewed, searched, installed and updated just like any other Addon.
