Manifest v3 coming to Firefox in 2022
To maintain compatibility with other browsers, we are currently in the process of making a set of changes to Firefox’s extensions API known as “Manifest v3.” These updates will help keep Firefox compatible with other web browsers to make it easier for you to publish your extensions on multiple platforms.
Manifest v3 will introduce several new functional changes, including: Replacing background pages with background service workers Disabling dynamic code execution in privileged extension contexts by default Introducing a content security policy for content scripts You don’t need to take any action for your extensions around Manifest v3 at this time. We’ll let you know when early testing is available in the Nightly pre-release channel, which will likely be later this year. In the meantime, please let us know about any specific use cases we should keep in mind to keep your extension compatible on our community forum.
migrate to google manifest v3 will be done after tested in chrome/firefox/edge supported. before that, we still use v2 version until chrome store stop accept v2 update.
