Upgrade StorageZotero Connector and Firefox WebExtentions
Documentation here, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions
With e10s coming up fast the Firefox add-on will soon be obsolete. Using WebExtensions it is possible for firefox to have a Zotero connector with the same codebase as the Chrome extension.
Even using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-store-foxified/ Which converts the code of the Chrome extension to that of a Firefox add-on works wonderfully, most of the time. Official support would be great!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
We haven't yet released the WebExtension version, but we will soon. You can run it from source in the meantime (using an unbranded build and an extension proxy file) if you want to use e10s now.
(Also, slight clarification: e10s doesn't make the existing extension obsolete — the deprecation of XUL/XPCOM in extensions at the end of 2017 will — but we've decided not to spend time addressing compatibility with the former because of the latter.)
