Removals

  • The deprecated WebVR API is now disabled by default on all builds (previously it was enabled on Windows, macOS, and all nightly/dev builds). It can be re-enabled in about:config by setting dom.vr.enabled to true (Firefox bug 1750902).

WebDriver conformance (Marionette)

Changes for add-on developers

  • Web extensions using webRequest were started early during Firefox startup. This has changed to only trigger early start-up for extensions using webRequest blocking calls. Non-blocking calls no longer cause the early startup of an extension. (Firefox bug 1749871)
  • cookieStoreId added to userScripts.register. This enables extensions to register container-specific user scripts (Firefox bug 1738567).
