They are doubling down on privacy for all. But also look at what they are trying to do with merging the FF Focus stuff in, and getting a built-in adblocker. So yeah, hold their feet to the fire to make sure that things don't regress without need. The situation is pretty unlike the WebExtension situation. So I don't see why extensions that work now shouldn't continue working in FF Preview once Extension support is added. If you think that features that benefit a small elite group of users should trump improvements for all, then I think that is an elitist attitude.Īlso, here there is absolutely no talk about changing extension APIs. That minority is a highly specialized, highly trained, bunch. So it improved the performance for everyone, and broke a feature that a small minority used. The switch to WebExtensions allowed all the excellent performance improvements we have been seeing in Firefox over the last year. In other parts of this thread people are complaining about Vimperator being broken by the switch to WebExtensions. Also locked to prevent any more comments about it.

At the end of this quarter is the scheduled release of Firefox 69. It is explicitly not being worked on this quarter. The new remake of the mobile browser ("Fenix") does not have extensions support and it is on an indefinite and easily ignorable backlog.

There will not be a 69 release of this edition of Firefox for Android ("Fennec"). This marks the last Android release with extensions/add-on support.
