Beginning November 3rd, 2025, Mozilla mandates that developers of new Firefox extensions disclose their data collection practices. This requirement aims to provide users with clear visibility regarding how their data may be collected or utilized. Developers must specify data collection permissions using new keys in the manifest.json file, ensuring that even extensions that do not collect data notify users of this fact.
The compliance framework will block submissions from developers who fail to adhere to these disclosure requirements. Additionally, Mozilla plans to extend these requirements to existing extensions by mid-2026, allowing developers adequate preparation time. The new approach not only solidifies Firefox’s commitment to user privacy but also positions the browser as a leader in fostering transparency in data practices for extensions. Significant information regarding data collection will be displayed across various Mozilla platforms, creating a cohesive user experience.
