What Firefox has been thinking of is, it is planning to bring in Google chrome's web browser extensions to support the features of Mozilla Firefox.

The parent company of Firefox i. e. Mozilla Foundation has decided to update their add-on and extension infrastructure, making Firefox more capable and user-friendly.

Ranked number three, Firefox browser is seemingly thriving to attain the first position. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer are the ones ahead of it, leading to desktops and mobile devices altogether.

The move will help Firefox in various ways like:
  • Integration of new technologies like Electrolysis and Servo
  • Protection from Adware and Spyware
  • Shortening the time it takes to review add-ons
