Mozilla @Firefox 62 (currently Beta, Dev Edition, and Nightly) and newer support a new TLS API for WebExtensions. I've developed what I hope a useful and comprehensive certificate viewer using those APIs, and I would love for your feedback. Thanks! addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir…

Thanks to @therealntim, and some groundwork laid by our excellent MSU students from last semester, we have preliminary support in today's Nightly for the ntp_background and ntp_text theme rules for WebExtensions (these rules set background and text colour for the New Tab page).

@mozamo @MozWebExt Guess what you get if you marry sinon-chrome and webextension-polyfill? You get to TDD your way into building a WebExtension with proper mocks/stubs/spies. Guessing it was not the intent of webextension-polyfill but it is a nice use case github.com/andreicristianpet…

Two great user-interface experiments from the @FxTestPilot team, one about easy quick browser theming (Color) and other about multitasking and bridging mobile/desktop workflows (Side View). Both are enabled by great @firefox webextensions APIs. Give them a try! teapawt.net/FxTestPilot/status/100…

We just launched two new experiments! One lets you customize the look and feel of @Firefox easier than ever, and the other lets you open sites in your sidebar, letting you multitask like a champ! testpilot.firefox.com
