XUL addons (webconverger) not supported anymore on firefox quantum

Hi all,

I would like to know if the webconverger add-on will still be supported on firefox quantum, specially in its ESR versions.

I´m asking this because in my company we use a Mozilla-based-browser to be used in kiosk mode that uses a customized version of the webconverger add-on and we rely on Mozilla´s support for this XUL add-on and APIs.

So I´m looking for a solution to keep our browser compatible with this "kiosk mode" extension.

Will Mozilla team still give support to the webconverger add-on? Will Mozilla team launch another "kiosk mode" extension that replaces webconverger? Do you know any other add-on similar to webconverger that is supported in the ESR 60.x.x versions?. I’ve checked other two extensions mKiosk, and rKiosk, and they both use the same approach as webconverger, an XUL overlay extension, so I’m assuming that they are not being supported either. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance

Hola Los complementos para Firefox Quantum (+57) debe estar desarrollados para webExtension, creo entender en el blog de Webconverger que su addon no es compatible con Webextension o/y que no hay APIs que permite el control requerido para Webconveger/ modo Quiosco:

https://webconverger.org/blog/2017/Is_it_the_End_of_Firefox_on_Webconverger/

Las extensiones o complementos son desarrollados por terceros no por Mozilla, aunque hay complementos desarrollados por colaboradores de la comunidad, dichos desarrollos no dependen directamente de Mozilla. Igualmente esta pensando agregar nuevas APIs: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap Pero no se que es lo requiere el modo Quiosco Otro problema que Firefox ESR 52 parece no sera actualizado a partir de Agosto. Bueno no te he dado buenas noticias, pero dejame averiguar mas sobre este tema Saludos
