![]() ![]() Add-ons will only be able to load binaries using the Native Messaging API.Firefox will run in multiprocess mode if all enabled add-ons meet this criteria. Unless your add-on has the multiprocessCompatible flag set to true or is a WebExtension, Firefox will run in single process mode.Add-ons that are reported and confirmed as incompatible with Multiprocess Firefox (and don’t have the flag set to false) will be marked as incompatible and disabled in Firefox.If your add-on has the multiprocessCompatible flag set to false, Firefox will run in single process mode if the add-on is enabled. Firefox will run in multiprocess mode by default for all users, with some exceptions.Language packs, dictionaries, OpenSearch providers, lightweight themes, and add-ons that only support Thunderbird or SeaMonkey aren’t considered legacy. We will provide more details on what’s coming for themes very soon in this blog. These add-ons shouldn’t have problems with multiprocess compatibility but will follow the same compatibility milestones as other legacy add-ons. Specifically: XUL overlay extensions, bootstrapped extensions, SDK extensions, and Embedded WebExtensions. All extensions that aren’t WebExtensions. ![]() We’ve been working on setting out a simple path forward, minimizing the compatibility hurdles along the way, so you can focus on migrating your add-ons to WebExtensions. There is a lot going on and we want you to know what to expect, so here is an update on the upcoming compatibility milestones. In parallel, the deployment of Multiprocess Firefox (also known as e10s) continues, with many users already benefiting from the performance and stability gains. Notably, we defined Firefox 57 as the first release where only WebExtensions will be supported. Update 2: we can now confirm that this plan also applies to Firefox for Android.īack in November, we laid out our plans for add-ons in 2017. Compatibility shims will be removed earlier than indicated in the previous version of this post. Firefox won’t run in multiprocess mode unless add-ons are explicitly declared to be compatible with Multiprocess Firefox. Power users might prefer the Yoono Firefox add-on instead.Update: this post was updated to reflect a change in how we determine when Firefox will run in multiprocess mode. Still, it’s unobtrusive and not very complicated, so light users of Twitter will prefer it. ![]() Out of the three editions of Echofon, it seems as if the Firefox add-on is an afterthought, considering the missing features compared to the iPhone version. The iPhone version in particular is all-inclusive, and can follow conversations and view profiles without the Web it even has an integrated browser for viewing links. However, it’s possible to link the browser add-on with your iPhone app so that unread Tweets are synchronized. There’s no standalone PC app of Echofon to integrate with this browser add-on currently Naan Studio only supports the iPhone and Mac as far as standalone apps. The point is to avoid having to use the Web version at all. (You can do a manual re-tweet by right-clicking a Tweet and selecting re-tweet, but this simply automates the older “RT in front of the copied tweet” method and not Twitter’s newer re-tweet function.) This is kind of clunky, as it’d be better for a browser add-on to have all currently Twitter functions built into it directly. Trending topics and search, along with newer Twitter features such as re-tweeting and lists, aren’t supported at all. Doing anything more advanced, such as trying to view a Twitter poster’s profile or clicking a conversation brings up Twitter’s Web site to perform those functions directly in Twitter. ![]()
