You want to request a new API for WebExtensions?
Great. But please read through the following before filing a bug:
- The goal of WebExtensions is not to support every API and use case from legacy extensions.
- For a list of what we are aiming for, please check out the vision document
- If you are expecting a bug before Firefox 57, please check out the roadmap document.
- Generic or very broad bugs are hard to turn into actionable issues, please try to limit the focus if possible.
- Try and do a search to see if the bug exists already before filing if possible.
We do try to review all incoming API requests, but it takes time, please be patient.
If the API is controversial, or falls outside of the project goals then it will probably be triaged in a design decision needed meeting.
