A longtime add-on developer with 37 extensions and counting (he&#8217;s most proud of <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/firefox\/addon\/tree-style-tab\/\">Tree Style Tab<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/firefox\/addon\/second-search\/\">Second Search<\/a>), Hiroshi also recently filed more than two dozen high-impact <a href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/buglist.cgi?emailtype1=exact&amp;email1=yuki%40clear-code.com&amp;emailreporter1=1&amp;resolution=---&amp;query_format=advanced&amp;component=WebExtensions&amp;product=Toolkit&amp;list_id=13009928\">WebExensions bugs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hiroshi recently <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2016\/04\/26\/migrating-popup-alt-attribute-from-xulxpcom-to-webextensions\/\" target=\"_blank\">recounted<\/a> his experience porting one of his XUL add-ons to <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/WebExtensions\">WebExtensions<\/a> in the hopes that he could help support fellow add-on developers through the transition. He likens XUL to an &#8220;experimental laboratory&#8221; that over the past decade allowed us to explore the possibilities of a customized web browser. But now, Hiroshi says, we need to &#8220;go for better security and stability&#8221; and embrace forward-thinking API&#8217;s that will cater to building richer user experiences.<\/p>\n<p>While add-ons technology is evolving, Hiroshi&#8217;s motivation to create remains the same. &#8220;It&#8217;s an emotional reason,&#8221; he says, which took root when he first discovered the power of a Gecko engine that allowed him to transform himself from being a mere hobbyist to a true developer. &#8220;Mozilla is a symbol of liberty for me,&#8221; Hiroshi explains. \u201cIt&#8217;s one of the legends of the early days of the web.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he&#8217;s not authoring add-ons, Hiroshi enjoys reading science fiction and manga. A recent favorite is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdjapan.co.jp\/product\/NEOBK-1833165\">The Hyakumanjo Labyrinth<\/a>, a &#8220;bizarre adventure story&#8221; that takes place on an infinity field beyond space and time within an old Japanese apartment building.<\/p>\n<p>Do <em>you<\/em> contribute to AMO in some fashion?
