Dear Mozilla-Support-Team,

I am thinking about a new webservice based on an add-on for Mozilla (and other Internet Browsers).

In general, is it possible to write a combined add-on for Firefox (desktop) and Firefox (Android and iPhone)? Or do both Mozilla-worlds (desktop / mobile) differ and therefore require to write seperate add-ons (just Desktopn AND mobile or Desktop AND Android AND iPhone).

Thank you very much for your help!

It can be the same extension though you will likely need to write different code for FxAndroid and Fx Desktop.

In the future you should ask questions on on of the developer lists. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mozilla-labs-jetpack
