Mozilla has announced a new Extension API for Firefox browser called ‘WebExtensions‘ that is compatible with API used by Blink-based Chrome and Opera browsers, and they want to deprecate current Firefox XPCOM/XUL/XBL APIs from 12 or 18 months from now. Which means thousands of Firefox add-ons based on the existing API will stop working or unsupported in Firefox browser, some of the popular ones to name are: Mozilla may work with some add-on developers to make some of the mentioned above to work in their browser. According to blink-compatible API page, the goals of WebExtensions are “WebExtensions will behave like other Firefox add-ons; (AMO) or through the developer’s website. With this API, extension developers should be able to make the same extension available on Firefox and Chrome with a minimal number of changes to repackage for each platform.” Mozilla’s Kev Needham, who works for Firefox Search and add-ons said. Mozilla says new WebExtensions API is necessary to to take advantage of new technologies like Electrolysis, Servo or browser.html.
WebExtensions is a benefit to Chrome add-on developers, but not to Firefox developers Firefox add-on developers need to rewrite their add-ons, while Chrome developers can easily port their extensions to Firefox browser with small changes to their code. Who’s benefiting here Chrome developers. This is a huge change, their market share can further decline and Firefox may lose all its loyal users using because of popular add-ons which may not work with the new WebExtensions API.

What has happened to Firefox? A reader asks Rick Maybury why Firefox is failing to work have a problem with my laptop, which seems to stem from Mozilla Firefox, which will now not work at all. When I try to load it, I get the message ‘cannot load XPCOM’. I have tried uninstalling Firefox, and I have rebooting the system without success. John Wood, by email XPCOM or Cross Platform Component Object Model, and since you ask it is a library of files that lets Firefox access and interact with various web services. Occasionally it stops working or becomes corrupted and you have to carry out a clean reinstall. Step one, using Internet Explorer, download, but do not install the latest version of Firefox. Next, uninstall your current version of Firefox, and make sure that the option to remove your personal data is unchecked otherwise you will loose your personal settings and bookmarks. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files and delete the Mozilla Firefox folder. Finally, install the newly downloaded version of Firefox.
