Firefox WebExtension Development

Complete reference for building, testing, and publishing browser extensions for Mozilla Firefox.

Overview

Firefox extensions use the WebExtensions API with the browser.* namespace (Promise-based natively). Firefox supports both Manifest V2 and V3, with MV2 NOT deprecated (unlike Chrome).

Key Characteristics:

  • Global namespace: browser (Promise-based)
  • Both MV2 and MV3 supported
  • Firefox-specific APIs: sidebarAction, userScripts, contextualIdentities, protocol_handlers
  • Submission via AMO (addons.mozilla.org)

Manifest Structure

Manifest V3 (Recommended, Firefox 109+)
