newtab-webextensions

A WebExtensions experiment to add custom sections to the Activity Stream version of the new tab page, and some example extensions consuming the API.

Install and run

The experiment depends on Activity Stream being present in Firefox. Updates may depend on ongoing Activity Stream development, so it's recommended to use an up to date version of Firefox Nightly.

As the experiment is a legacy bootstrapped addon, the extensions.legacy.enabled pref must be set to true in about:config.

Both the experiment and any consumer extensions can be installed as temporary addons in about:debugging: open any file in the relevant experiment or extension directory from the install dialog. The experiment must be installed before any consumer extension.
