This marks the last Android release with extensions/add-on support. There will not be a 69 release of this edition of Firefox for Android ("Fennec").The new remake of the mobile browser ("Fenix") does not have extensions support and it is on an indefinite and easily ignorable backlog. It is explicitly not being worked on this quarter. At the end of this quarter is the scheduled release of Firefox 69. Unless there's no release at all of Firefox 69 upon the Android platform, that's the time when Mozilla I think will deceptively try to drop support for extensions/addons on android.Bug to have Add-ons pages declare Fenix extensions as unsupported. "version <= 68.0.98 is legacy Fennec version >= 68.0.99 is Fenix (or some other GeckoView-powered browser)" <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548428" rel="nofollow">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548428</a>"Or do nothing because Fennec 68 and Fenix 68 will overlap for only 6–8 weeks with a preview audience." <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/7963" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/7963</a>Firefox 69 releases 2019-09-03 at the end of Quarter 3. <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar</a>Extensions support are in the "Reserved Backlog" category. Also locked to prevent any more comments about it. <a href="https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/574" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/574</a>Extensions support is not in Q3 backlog <a href="https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/projects/19" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/projects/19</a>

I love Firefox. First thing I install on any new computer. Super happy they keep pushing the web forward. Not a fan of the chromium quasi monopoly (not that the folks behind it are bad, just that any monoculture is problematic).Thanks for pushing the web forward!

The Recommended Extensions program will go live on July 11. Extension updates are reviewed by Mozilla employees before they are published.Two of my extensions are also participating, reviewers took special care in how user data is handled and how accurate the privacy policy is. Overall the program seems to be a positive development that will give us a curated list of safe browser extensions to use.

>Local files can no longer access other files in the same directory.What impact will this have on web development without a web server? It sounds like you won't be able to load CSS or JS.

> Improved extension security and discovery:> New reporting feature in about:addons allows you to report security and performance issues with extensions and themes.> Redesigned extensions dashboard in about:addons provides easy access to information about your extensions, including data and settings access required by each extension. Find high quality, secure extensions via the Recommended Extensions program in about:addons, which now displays user count and ratings for each extension.> "Recommended” badges for these extensions also appear on AMO. More extensions will be added over time.I welcome the new changes to the extension ecosystem. For too long extensions were unsupervised and malicious code was allowed to run (remember the Stylish fiasco[0] where your browsing history was siphoned off?).App stores and extension ecosystems need to be policed with a lot more rigour and code needs to be inspected so that the extension does what it says in the description and nothing more. No ulterior motives. No 'monetizing' of user data, and no surreptitious phoning home to a command and control server with your browsing history.[0] <a href="https://www.ghacks.net/2017/01/04/major-stylish-add-on-changes-in-regards-to-privacy/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ghacks.net/2017/01/04/major-stylish-add-on-chang...</a>

There are two things keeping me using Chrome.1) Videostreams are way smoother using Chrome, at least on Linux.2) I've enabled Emacs Input in Gnome. When I enter something in the address bar, both Firefox and Chrome show suggestions for websites below. In Chrome I can type Ctrl+n / Ctrl+p to navigate between the suggestions, because it respects my keyboard schema.In Firefox this opens new browser windows :( and I've found absolutely no way to change this behaviour.

1) Regarding WebRender: Maybe I'm a bit out of the loop, but aren't they working on Servo? It seems, WebRender is a Gecko thing. I'm confused.2) I'm also confused about the state of Gecko Embedding. As far as I know many are jumping to Chromium instead of Gecko. What's the plan there? Is Chromium better/easier to embed? Will I be able to embed Servo at some point?

I've been running Firefox full time on all my computers for a few months now. It's been really good. I've tried to switch away from Chrome in the past, but I've always had to come back due to performance issues or incompatibility with something. But it's basically 95% on par with Chrome now (missing a few things like syncing search engines, etc)

I can't use `--ProfileManager` or launch a new instance with a named profile (`-P 'ProfileName'`).Instead of opening a new window with the requested profile, it opens a new window of the same profile that's already running.Launching from about:profiles works.Is anyone else running into this?

"Cryptomining and fingerprinting protections are added to strict content blocking settings in Privacy & Security preferences."my first reaction is it's really sad to see this. looks like something Google blackmailed them into adding. maybe Im missing some aspect to this.. but why is mining crypto bad but showing ads is not?I rather mine coins/ether/whatever for the website owners than see more adsmoving away from the web being funded by advertisement to a web funded by distributed computing is what a lot of people have been looking forward to, no?

If I add a certificate on Android (for example for WPA2-Enterprise), do I need to disable security.certerrors.mitm.auto_enable_enterprise_roots if I don't want those with access to the private key to be able to MITM me?

Here's something from the SVG 2.0 wish list I'd be interested in[1]:> Presentation attributes on any SVG namespaced elementIs Firefox going to support this?It's already supported in Chromium and makes it nice to use the web animations api (e.g., myRect.animate) on svg elements.[1] <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/SVG_2_support_in_Mozilla" rel="nofollow">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/SVG_2_suppo...</a>

I switched from Chrome after Google moved to disable ad blockers. Do we see any evidence of a broader trend towards Firefox? Or should we be happy in our little corner.

Wish there was a log in Firefox to determine how/why uBlock Origin keeps getting uninstalled across all my machines which are synced with my Firefox account.

From a privacy perspective: which do you guys think is better? Firefox or Brave? I'm thinking it's finally time to give up Chrome.

I don’t see Firefox for iOS support to increase or decrease font size support yet. Safari for iOS 13 has it.

Look like there is a concerted effort between Mozilla and google to remove efficient adblocker (mainly ublock) from their browser.How to resist that sweet money coming from ads networks ?

I have a generic Intel card on a laptop and forced WebRender to be on via config and wow - it really feel very snappy. Congrats, Firefox team! Fantastic results.

I was absolutely mozilla's target audience when firefox was introduced. Now they remove control and capabilities from us, and I keep getting told here on HN I'm not their target audience, and should accept that they are making this for "most users" who need extension signing, auto updates, sandboxing, and in general NERFING THE POWER from me. Who the hell are they building for if not techies? Who do they think is going to evangelize for them if not techies?Mozilla: fix it.

Endy将近 6 年前

I'll be downvoted to Hell for this, but I don't care. With each subsequent release of Firefox, I'm consistently happy that I've moved to Pale Moon. The nonsense they're adding and the problems that Mozilla has to "fix" seem more often than not to be brought on themselves with the rapid-release and the move away from being Firefox to being "almost Chrome". The move to multi-process (which has introduced memory leaks), the move to WebExtensions (which nuked add-ons that worked reliably since FF2.0), and the general roadmap make me almost want to stop using a web browser.
