WebExtensions are a cross-browser system for developing browser add-ons. But not all APIs are supported by Firefox for Android yet. The goal of this Google Summer of Code project is to implement some of the missing APIs and optionally improve the tooling for building and testing WebExtensions for Firefox for Android.

Should I apply for other GSoC projects or at other organizations?

Are there other Android projects Mozilla mentors?
