In this case, you’ll want to remove the extension from browsers when support ceases.</p> </li> <li> <p>You're replacing the extension with a new one, which isn't a direct upgrade. In this case, you'll want to encourage existing users to install the new extension, before you remove the old extension from browsers.</p> </li> </ul> </div> </article> </section>   <section id="steps-to-retiring-an-extension" class="module"> <article class="module-content grid-x grid-padding-x"> <div class="cell small-12"> <h2>Steps to retiring an extension</h2> <p>When you want to withdraw an extension, considered taking the following steps:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Devise a timetable for your extension’s end-of-life. Consider including the following steps in a timetable for withdrawing your extension:</p> <ol> <li>publish your extension’s end-of-life timetable, including an explanation of why you're retiring your extension.</li> <li>publish an update that removes installed copies of your extension.</li> <li>make the extension unavailable for new installs, by making its AMO listing invisible.</li> </ol> </li> <li> <p>Publish advice that you're planning to end-of-life your extension. Consider the following options to advise people of your intention to take down your extension:</p> <ol> <li>update your extension’s page on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) with its end-of-life timetable.</li> <li>if your extension is being superseded by another, provide a link to the new extension. You could use <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/management/onInstalled"><code>management.onInstalled</code></a> to listen for installation of the new extension to trigger the removal of the original extension using <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/management/uninstallSelf"><code>management.uninstallSelf</code></a>.</li> <li>communicate the timetable through social media, forums, or where possible by email.</li> </ol> </li> <li> <p>Publish a final, self-removing version of your extension. Use <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/management/uninstallSelf"><code>management.uninstallSelf()</code></a> to cause your extension to uninstall itself. Before it does, provide a notice reminding the user about the removal of the extension. If your extension is being superseded by another, remember to provide a reminder about the link to the new extension. You might offer the user the option to remove the extension now or in a few days time.</p> </li> <li> <p>Make your AMO listing invisible to prevent new installs. To hide your extension’s AMO listing:</p> <ol> <li>open your extension’s listing in AMO.</li> <li>from the sidebar menu, open Manage Status & Versions.</li> <li>In the Listing Visibility section, click Invisible.</li> </ol> </li> </ol> <p>Your hidden extension will not be available either to a search of AMO or an attempt to access it directly using the page’s AMO URL.</p> </div> </article> </section>   <section id="suggested-retirement-timetable" class="module"> <article class="module-content grid-x grid-padding-x"> <div class="cell small-12"> <h2>Suggested retirement timetable</h2> <p>There is no ideal period between publication of your end-of-life timetable and the removal of your extension from users’ browsers. In setting the timetable, you might wish to consider:</p> <ul> <li> <p>if you’re not providing a replacement extension, you could consider a relatively short notice period, perhaps a couple of weeks.</p> </li> <li> <p>if you’re replacing the extension with an alternative version, you may wish to provide a longer notice period, with regular reminders about the new extension. In this case, you might want to leave weeks or months between the initial end-of-life advice and the final removal of installed copies.</p> </li> </ul> <p>When you’ve started retiring the extension, use the active user statistics on AMO to fine-tune your timing. For example, if the number of active users isn't declining significantly you may want to delay deploying your extension’s final version and send out a reminder about your plans. To access the active user statistics, open your extension in the AMO Developer Hub and click <strong>View Statistics Dashboard</strong> on the shortcut menu.</p> </div> </article> </section>  <section class="module meta-data"> <article class="module-content grid-x grid-padding-x"> <div class="cell small-12"><p><span class="meta-label tags">Tags:</span>  <a href="/tags/manage/">manage</a>  <a href="/tags/end-of-life/">end-of-life</a> </p><p><span class="meta-label contributors">Contributors:</span> <a href="https://github.com/rebloor/" title="View rebloor on Github">rebloor</a> </p><p><span class="meta-label date">Last update:</span> <a href="https://github.com/rebloor/" title="View rebloor on Github" itemprop="author" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"><span class="p-author h-card" itemprop="name">rebloor</span></a> <time class="dt-published" datetime="2019-03-23T06:22:00+00:00" itemprop="datePublished">Mar 23, 2019 </time> </p></div> </article> </section> <section class="module up-next"> <article class="module-content grid-x grid-padding-x"> <div class="cell small-12"> <h6>Up Next</h6> </div> <a href="/documentation/enterprise/" class="cell auto tile tile-block-link"> <div class="block-link"><h5>Enterprise</h5> </div> </a> <a href="/documentation/enterprise/enterprise-development/" class="cell auto tile tile-block-link"> <div class="block-link"><p>Enterprise</p><h5>Enterprise development</h5> </div> </a> <a href="/documentation/enterprise/enterprise-policies-that-impact-extensions/" class="cell auto tile tile-block-link"> <div class="block-link"><p>Enterprise</p><h5>Enterprise policies that impact extensions</h5> </div> </a> </article> </section> </main> <aside class="documentation-topics"> <div class="grid-container grid-x grid-padding-x"> <div class="cell small-12"> <h6>Documentation Topics</h6> <ul> <li><a href="/documentation/develop/">Develop</a></li> <li><a href="/documentation/publish/">Publish</a></li> <li><a href="/documentation/manage/">Manage</a></li> <li><a href="/documentation/enterprise/">Enterprise</a></li> <li><a href="/documentation/themes/">Themes</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </aside> <aside class="panel social"> <div class="grid-container grid-x grid-padding-x"> <div class="cell small-12"> <h2>Connect With Us</h2> </div> <div class="cell small-12 large-3"> <h4>Twitter</h4> <p>For developers: <br><a href="https://twitter.com/mozamo" class="twitter">@mozamo</a></p> <p>For end users: <br><a href="https://twitter.com/rockyourfirefox" class="twitter">@rockyourfirefox</a></p> </div> <div class="cell small-12 large-4"> <h4>More</h4> <p><a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Matrix" class="irc">Matrix</a></p> <p><a href="https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/add-ons/" class="irc">Community forum</a></p> </div> <div class="cell small-12 large-5"> <h4>Extensions Developer Newsletter</h4> <p>Stay up-to-date on news and events for Firefox extension developers.</p> <div class="newsletter" id="newsletter_wrap">  <form id="newsletter_form" name="newsletter_form" action="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/newsletter/" method="post" data-no-csrf=""> <input type="hidden" id="fmt" name="fmt" value="H"> <input type="hidden" id="newsletters" name="newsletters" value="about-addons"> <div id="newsletter-errors" class="newsletter-errors"></div> <div id="newsletter_email" class="form_group"> <label for="email" class="visually-hidden">Email Address</label> <input type="email" id="email" name="email" class="form_input" required="" placeholder="Email Address" size="30"> </div> <div id="newsletter_privacy" class="form_group form_group-agree"> <input type="checkbox" id="privacy" name="privacy" required=""> <label for="privacy">I’m okay with Mozilla handling my info as explained in this <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/websites/">Privacy Notice</a>.</label> </div> <div id="newsletter_submit"> <button type="submit" class="button btn btn-success">Sign up</button> </div> </form> <div id="newsletter-thanks" class="newsletter-thanks"> <h6>Thanks!
