According to this Mozilla blog post, Firefox is moving to a new WebExtensions model, which is supposed to be compatible with Chrome extensions: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/.
We have a long lead time before XPCOM is deprecated, and there are some big issues to solve, like how to make SSL Observatory work in such a world (probably we need Mozilla to implement some extra APIs). We should try implementing HTTPS Everywhere using the new API, to see if it is possible. Probably starting from the Chromium code rather than the existing Firefox code makes the most sense. (text copied from: https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/issues/2640) If anyone would like to volunteer to try this, it would help provide early feedback to Mozilla on the viability of the new model. _______________________________________________ HTTPS-Everywhere mailing list [email protected] https://lists.eff.org/mailman/listinfo/https-everywhere
