Starting December 14, 2023, extensions marked as Android compatible on addons.mozilla.org<\/i> (AMO) will be openly available to Firefox for Android users.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve been so impressed with developer enthusiasm and preparation,” said Giorgio Natili, Firefox Director of Engineering. “Just a few weeks ago it looked like we might have a couple hundred Android extensions for launch, but now we can safely say AMO will have 400+ new Firefox for Android extensions available on December 14. We couldn\u2019t be more thankful to our developer community for embracing this exciting moment.”<\/p>\n

In anticipation of the launch of open extensions on Android, we just added a link to \u201cExplore all Android extensions<\/i>\u201d on AMO\u2019s Android page<\/a> to make it easy to discover new content. And just for fun and to offer a taste of what\u2019s to come, we also released a couple dozen new open extensions for Android. You can find them listed beneath the Recommended Extensions collection on that AMO Android page<\/a>. Try a few out!<\/p>\n

Get your Firefox desktop extension ready for Android<\/b><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s still time to make your desktop extension compatible with Firefox for Android<\/a> if you want to be part of the December 14 launch. Senior Developer Relations Engineer Simeon Vincent recently hosted two webinars to help developers work through common migration hurdles. Here are recorded webinars from October<\/a> (an introduction to mobile extension migration) and November<\/a> (setup, testing, debugging).<\/p>\n

Simeon also hosts open \u201coffice hours\u201d every Monday and Tuesday for anyone interested in signing up<\/a> to receive 1:1 guidance on Firefox for Android extension development. Office hours run through December, so be sure to tap Simeon\u2019s expertise while time remains.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly Add-opter\u201d t-shirts still available!<\/b><\/h3>\n

Are you a developer planning to make your desktop extension work with Firefox for Android by December 14? Do you like cool free t-shirts? Great!
