I'm wondering whether Chrome add-ons will be compatible with Firefox Web Extensions platform or not.

    There are [differences](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Chrome_incompatibilities). You can find many answers for this question, by the way. – wOxxOm Sep 06 '17 at 08:54
  • Other than a strict "No", and a more general, but incomplete: "For the APIs which both implement, they are largely compatible", what are you actually asking, *exactly*? What are you wanting to get out of an answer? Note that asking us about the *future* is inherently opinion based (off-topic), even if a projection can be based on what's available/announced. If you want to ask the *current* state, that's something that can be covered as fact. – Makyen Sep 08 '17 at 02:19

Take a look at this article. It highlights all the differences. I think in the future the differences will be minimal.

Extensions built with WebExtension APIs are designed to be compatible with Chrome and Opera extensions: as far as possible, extensions written for those browsers should run on Firefox with minimal changes.
