Mozilla announced plans today to ban Firefox extensions from its Add-ons portal if the extension contains obfuscated code.
The ban will enter into effect on June 10, at which point Mozilla plans to remove all Firefox extensions that don’t meet this criteria and shoot down any future extension submissions that fail to provide full access to their source code.
GOOGLE ALSO BANNED OBFUSCATED EXTENSIONS
The move comes after Google announced a similar policy for Chrome extensions in October last year, which entered into effect on January 1, 2019.
