Part of the add-ons that are currently available for Firefox will be ported to WebExtensions by their developers. The earliest option for ESR is when Firefox ESR 59 is released in 2018). Firefox ESR will run legacy add-ons as the change won't affect the extended support release version right away (the version is at 52.5 at the time of the release of Firefox 57.
Consequencesįirefox users who have legacy add-ons installed in the browser won't be able to use them anymore when Firefox 57 is released. Throughout the year we’ll expand the set of APIs available, add capabilities to Firefox that don’t yet exist in other browsers, and put more WebExtensions in front of users. New APIs and capabilities will be introduced throughout the year according to Mozilla to add missing capabilities to the WebExtensions system of Firefox. This has no affect on existing add-ons at this point in time, and won't affect Firefox on Android, Thunderbird, or SeaMonkey extensions.įirefox 53 is scheduled for release on April 18, 2017, and Firefox 57 for a release on November 28, 2017. AMO (Add-ons Mozilla Org) won't sign new SDK, XUL or XPCOM extensions for Firefox desktop with the release of Firefox 53. Mozilla plans to stop accepting new extensions that are not WebExtensions in Firefox 53. It is still too early to tell what it will be capable of, and how it compares to the existing full theme functionality in Firefox that will be deprecated in Firefox 57. Mozilla appears to be working on a theming API however that provides more options to customize Firefox than lightweight themes. You may notice that complete themes are not listed, as are not any legacy add-ons that make the bulk of Firefox's extension offering.
