In a major update towards cross-browser compatibility, Firefox users are set to enjoy the benefits of importing Chrome extensions, thanks to a new feature unveiled by Mozilla. This is a big deal because it brings us one step closer to having more compatibility between browsers.
Mozilla has been working on making extensions easier across multiple browsers, and this new feature is currently being tested.
Best part? It’s already available to all users of the latest stable version of Firefox.
Firefox itself actually has quite a few excellent extensions that you don't find on Chromium based browsers, so I'm wondering whether Google will be responding with importing Firefox extensions into Chrome? But I'm not holding my breath at all.
Note: this is really part of the data import/migration from an existing Chrome browser installed, just for extensions that are already supported, and not installing from the Chrome web store
