⚠ BREAKING CHANGES ⚠

In previous web-ext versions, the directory passed to --chromium-profile would be modified while using web-ext run. As of 5.0.0, a copy of the profile is used instead, unless --keep-profile-changes is passed.

Features

  • web-ext run:

    • Support keep profile changes while running Chrome on an existing profile-directory and fixed selection of non-Default chrome profiles (#​1920), closes #​1909

  • web-ext lint: updated to use addons-linter v2.1.0 (#​1946, #​1967):

    • See all addons-linter changes: 1.26.0...2.1.0
Bug Fixes

  • web-ext run / web-ext sign / web-ext build:

  • web-ext run:

    • web-ext run -t firefox-android is now detecting (and warning the user) if old artifacts dirs are being left on the target adb device, using the new --adb-remove-old-artifacts will remove them automatically (#​1965), closes #​1591
