To comply with Google's planned deprecation of Manifest V2, the F1E browser extension has been updated to Manifest V3. This new version includes an updated Manifest V3 version, which builds on the previous Manifest V3 releases. Manifest V3 is applicable for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox browsers on Windows, as well as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari browsers on macOS. It is crucial that you upgrade to this ManifestV3 extension before Google deprecates Manifest V2. Refer to the Manifest V2 support timeline document to view Google's progress on this effort.

Important: Since Manifest V3 introduces a fundamental design change compared to Manifest V2, it is crucial to review the Resolved and Known Issues section for any known issues before upgrading your browser extension to Manifest V3.

To leverage this updated Manifest V3 extension, you can either upgrade to the new version of the F1E agent or enable the Manifest V3 extension on top of your existing agent installation.

To update the agent, follow the regular installation or upgrade steps outlined in F1E Installation guide and F1E upgrade guide. You can add the Manifest V3 extension on top of an existing agent installation. But first, ensure you are running a supported version of the F1E agent. To check supported versions, see Product Support Lifecycle. For detailed instructions, see the F1E End user guide.

You can now choose to enable or disable print detection for web pages using browser extensions when creating endpoint installation packages. For details on availing of this option, refer to Creating the installation package from the package builder.
