Add an API removal in dev changelog of Firefox 103

Open mossroy opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Summary

The ServiceWorker API has been removed inside a Webextension, which should be mentioned in the dev changelog of Firefox 103.

Motivation

With Firefox<103, the API was available, but registering a ServiceWorker was failing on a security issue. Since Firefox 103, the API is not available at all.

It's a significant change, that broke our kiwix extension (see https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js/issues/877). So I think it's worth mentioning it here.

Supporting details

The API availability can be tested with 'serviceWorker' in navigator
