Improvement of social API
By using social API such as "Messenger for Firefox" and "mixi sidebar" in Firefox, you can always display SNS message exchanges and friends' contacts at the edge of the browser, and send SNS notifications in the browser Receiving is possible. Social APIs are as follows.

Messenger for Firefox
https://www.facebook.com/about/messenger-for-firefox


[Mixi] mixi sidebar for Firefox
https://mixi.jp/promotion.pl?id=social_sidebar


Cliqz for Firefox
https://mozsocial.cliqz.com/


When these are used, message exchanges etc. are displayed on each SNS in the red frame part on the right side of the browser.
