LastPass was slow to port their extension for Firefox for desktop from Firefox’s legacy extension platform to the new WebExtensions Application Programming Interface ( API). Extension support is the number one feature differentiator for Firefox for Android compared to Chromium/WebView based web browsers.Īt the end of 2017, Firefox for Android had 0,87 % (up from 0,1 % in 2016) of the web browser market share on Android worldwide, according to StatCounter.įirefox for Android’s relatively tiny marketshare - despite the great year-over-year growth - combined with less than a stellar development environment probably contributed to LastPass’ decision to deprecate the platform. It’s a shame to see Firefox for Android lose such a great extension as LastPass. The LastPass for Firefox Mobile extension hadn’t been updated in nearly a year, and it stopped working entirely in Firefox 53 ( 2018-05).


Firefox for Android loses one of its most popular extensions as LastPass discontinued their password manager extension on.
