Description ExE_Boss 2017-04-14 20:00:23 UTC
With Firefox (and Edge) now supporting WebExtensions (essentially Chrome Extensions), releasing NetBeans Connector for Firefox is now feasible once Firefox supports all the required APIs.

NetBeans Connector requires the Devtools and Debugger APIs which will soon be arriving in Firefox (tracked by bugs https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1211859, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1323098 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1316741).

This will also require NetBeans to add 'Firefox with NetBeans Connector' to the Browser menu.
