Mozilla @Firefox 62 (currently Beta, Dev Edition, and Nightly) and newer support a new TLS API for WebExtensions. I've developed what I hope a useful and comprehensive certificate viewer using those APIs, and I would love for your feedback. Thanks! https://t.co/fIDx345tPx

Thanks to @therealntim, and some groundwork laid by our excellent MSU students from last semester, we have preliminary support in today's Nightly for the ntp_background and ntp_text theme rules for WebExtensions (these rules set background and text colour for the New Tab page).

@mozamo @MozWebExt Guess what you get if you marry sinon-chrome and webextension-polyfill? You get to TDD your way into building a WebExtension with proper mocks/stubs/spies. Guessing it was not the intent of webextension-polyfill but it is a nice use case

Also on @mozilla’s @bugzilla, the updated New Bug page makes it easier to report a bug in @FirefoxDevTools or @MozWebExt, both of which now have a standalone product for better discoverability. https://t.co/VY7k65MH7W 🦊📝👍

Two great user-interface experiments from the @FxTestPilot team, one about easy quick browser theming (Color) and other about multitasking and bridging mobile/desktop workflows (Side View). Both are enabled by great @firefox webextensions APIs. Give them a try!
We just launched two new experiments! One lets you customize the look and feel of @Firefox easier than ever, and the other lets you open sites in your sidebar, letting you multitask like a champ! https://t.co/33pONoNM4J
