Re: Changes to Extensions in Firefox 57
It's possible that there will be no real discussion about that as long as Firefox UI will be XUL based.

What exactly is different about your UI compared to Photon?Aris wrote:@flaneurb
Jorge Villalobos mentioned he is not aware of any userChrome.css removal (at the moment?): https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/08 ... ent-224153
Benjamin Smedberg [:bsmedberg] wants it gone: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332529#c14
So AMO team is at odds with devs or there was no real discussion within developer team yet whether or not userChrome will survive or get restricted or whatsoever. Prepare for the worst.
As long as userChrome.css stays (and works) we can do stuff like that in Fx57+:

- 1381290 - FindProxyForURL() should use object return type and deprecate string format
- 1368559 - Provide contextual info to FindProxyForURL
- 1319630 - FindProxyForURL().type should be able to use new value "system"
- 1319631 - FindProxyForURL().type should be able to return new value "wpad"

It was just an custom css code example of things you can not achieve with WebExtensions, but can with userChrome.css or with legacy add-os.Grantius wrote:...

Sorry, That was meant to be humorous. Everything has been so heavy lately.

Re: Changes to Extensions in Firefox 57
It looks like WebRender is still nowhere near ready:
https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2017/0 ... mment-1395
https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2017/0 ... mment-1395
The (unsatisfying) answer would be “when it is ready”, and it’s hard to guess when that will be. This project is by far the biggest the graphics team has undertaken since I joined Mozilla (about 6 years ago), hard to foresee the amount of time we’ll spend dealing with unexpected issues and the long tail of platform/driver specific bugs.
Sorry for my poor English.

Re: Changes to Extensions in Firefox 57
Another addition to WebExtensions:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1238314
Could anyone explain, please, what this bug is about? As far as I understand, it allows WebExtensions to know how the tab was opened: via middle-clicking a link, from the bookmarks sidebar, url bar, etc.

Re: Changes to Extensions in Firefox 57
Could it be some helper for extensions such as TabMixPlus?

I've decided that I'm not the best suited to writing the FAQ for 57, partly through lack of interest, but mainly because with not actually using Firefox then I'm not, lately, familiar with all the subtle nuances of all this, as is needed for this.
So, over to you guys - jointly or singly just knock something into shape for November and let the mods know and they'll do a Locked Sticky on it.
Just make sure it's 100% neutral in tone and totally accurate and it'll be fine.
