2013 in Featured Article and WebRTC. ADDON : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/togetherjs-anywhere/?src=search We’d like to introduce TogetherJS, a real-time collaboration tool out of Mozilla Labs. TogetherJS is a service you add to an existing website to add real-time collaboration features. Using the tool two or more visitors on a website or web application can see each other’s mouse/cursor position, clicks, track each other’s browsing, edit forms together, watch videos together, and chat via audio and WebRTC. Some of the features TogetherJS includes: See the other person’s cursor and clicks See scroll position Watch the pages a person visits on a page Text chat Audio chat using WebRTC Form field synchronization (text fields, checkboxes, etc) Play/pause/track videos in sync

Before we bring new features to Firefox, we give them a test run to make sure they’re right for our users. To help determine which features we add and how exactly they should work, we created the Test Pilot program.

A giant table, I think it would be important to also include whether an old extension is no longer possible (deprecated), or someone just hasn't written an alternative yet, or whether there exists a planned API addition that would make it possible. Lots of alternatives are also missing a few features, and it would be good to know what's missing and why (impossible or just not yet implemented)The list is certainly not giant yet, but here's a start (based on responses from this post)/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/6i1fu2/webext_equivalents_to_legacy_addons/°

FIR 57 - ADDON - uBO/webext works best with Firefox 57 and above, and with multi-process enabled. There are many reports of people experiencing issues with some web sites, or images not loading, etc. Turns out many of these are a result of using some legacy extensions along uBO/webext. For instance, Reek's AAK in GreaseMonkey has been causing issues with images not loading. If you experience such issue, you will have to disable all your legacy extensions and see if this fixes your issue. If so, then you will have to re-enable your legacy extensions one by one to find the one(s) causing the problem. Those legacy extensions can cause multi-process to be disabled in your browser, and apparently when multi-process is disabled, this can cause many cases of page load failure.

Nightly Tester Tools is an extension that is a collection of useful tools for users of Firefox nightly builds. It was previously owned by Dave Townsend, but now is maintained by the Automation and Tools team. They're leading an effort to revive Nightly Tester Tools and make it even better. Nightly Tester Tools features the ability to disable add-on compatibility checks, crucial for nightly testers.
