mozilla/web-ext 5.1.0

on GitHub

Features

• web-ext run: Android build variants do not require anymore a fully qualified apk component value in the --apk-component flag (#1935, #1941) (c083c07), as an example the following command can now be used to run an extension on the Fenix performancetest build variant: web-ext run -t firefox-android ... --firefox-apk=org.mozilla.fenix.performancetest --firefox-apk-component=HomeActivity (instead of ... --firefox-apk-component=org.mozilla.fenix.HomeActivity)

• web-ext lint: updated to use addons-linter v2.5.0 (#2019 and #2028):

  • Imported Firefox 80 and Firefox 81 APIs Schema
  • Fixed optional_permissions validations to match the validation rules already applied to the manifest permissions (#3060)
  • Added new banned libraries and versions (e.g. DOMPurify <= 2.0.16) due to security vulnerabilities (#3336, #3347 and 5c7dc87)
  • See all addons-linter changes: 2.1.0...2.5.0
