Mozilla is developing a new, simplified way for extension developers to obtain permission to collect user data. The new system will be integrated into the Firefox extension installation process in 2025 and will eliminate the various, often confusing permission screens that developers currently have to build themselves.
Firefox’s version of MV3 explicitly supports the things that uBlock Origin needs to do. It’s not the same as Google’s malicious MV3 that was targeted at destroying adblockers.
It would be annoying if they removed MV2, but it wouldn’t break things like it did for Chromium.
Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.
I wish they’d bring back proper ui mods. Installing stuff like tabmixplus or paxmod is like jumping through hoops of fire.
