Major change to existing article

What product version number does this change align with? [REQUIRED]

116

Major change 1

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-data-another-browser

In 116, we will support extensions import from Chrome in 116 and need to mention the support and how import works (since Chrome and Firefox extensions are not directly compatible).

In the product flow, we need to link to a section of the article explaining how we match the extensions when importing them and add the link to the build this week.

Can we please use this slug once we make the update?
https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/%VERSION%/%OS%/%LOCALE%/import-data-another-browser#w_import-extensions-from-chrome

During the import, we match the most popular Chromium extensions to their Firefox versions:

  • we only import equivalent Firefox extensions by the same developer, never anything else (e.g., an extension offering similar functionality)
  • ideally, equivalents are participating in the AMO Spotlight or Recommended Extension program,
  • the Firefox extension version has been updated in the last six months,
  • it is not disabled by their developer in AMO,
  • it is not in a non-approved state in AMO.

Major change 2

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/importing-safari-data-firefox

  1. We no longer need full access to import data from Safari (although users can still do it if they are willing to go this path).
    I think it would be more valuable to describe the new Safari import flow instead. Especially, since it now prompts users to bring bookmarks AND passwords from Safari.

What is the anticipated release date? [REQUIRED]

116 - 2023-08-01

What is the proposed deadline for the content to be published? [REQUIRED]

2023-08-01

Please include any related JIRA/Github/Bugzilla tickets, documentation, demos, or practical use cases. [REQUIRED]

Demo for extensions import

Please add instructions for testing or links to any design assets or visuals. [REQUIRED]

The new wizard is available in the latest Nightly by default.

Does the content need to be localized in any languages outside of our priority locales (yes or no)?

Note: Minimum of 10 days required for translation requests
Yes

Does the content require legal review (yes or no)?

Yes, as we manually match the extensions, we want to give the Legal team a look at the copy before it's published (the feature is green-lighted by the Legal).

Is the content embargoed (yes or no)?

No
