'''Project Description''' | |||
WebExtensions have been working on Android for many releases, but the API is a little bit behind the Desktop version of Firefox. We’d like to improve the API on Android so that we can get some great extensions on Android. | |||
This is a cool opportunity to contribute to a mobile project that ships to millions of users. | |||
The WebExtensions API are mostly written in JavaScript, but someone working on this might need to dive down into Java or C++ in some cases. The expectation is that any API would be fully unit tested, so they’ll need to be writing some unit tests. | |||
The list of things that we’ll be looking for are being worked on by other contributors so we’d to interact with those. But they include: | |||
*[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/browsingData browsingData] - an API to remove data from the browser | |||
*[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/contextMenus/ contextMenus] - an API to show context sensitive menus in Android | |||
*[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/history history] - interaction with the users browser history | |||
*[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/omnibox omnibox] - shortcuts in the browser address bar | |||
