Hi!
Is it okay if I worked on this?
Could I get more details on what exactly needs to be done?

Hi there! This bug is available to be worked on, but it's quite a lot of work. I would suggest you get acquainted with the codebase in the other bug I just responded to :)

Any updates for this ticket?

Unfortunately, there are only vague hints so far, but I have the feeling that no one is working on this feature anymore.

Hey, I only wanted to check out the code, I already found this interface:
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/blob/main/components/concept/storage/src/main/java/mozilla/components/concept/storage/BookmarksStorage.kt
And the implementation:
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/blob/main/components/browser/storage-sync/src/main/java/mozilla/components/browser/storage/sync/PlacesBookmarksStorage.kt

@agi But where on earth the extension interfaces are defined, like the ones mentioned here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Browser_support_for_JavaScript_APIs

Tasks and enhancements should have severity N/A.

(P2 from bug 1796597)

Note that there is a tree of dependencies that need to be addressed before extensions can use the bookmarks API:

• bug 1796597 - Fenix, dependent on A-C.
• bug 1796596 - A-C, dependent on GV
• bug 1796595 - GV, depends on API contract between GV and A-C.
