PayPal Honey reportedly ending Firefox extension support in December

It looks like PayPal Honey is getting ready to pull the plug on its Firefox extension at the end of the year. Several Firefox users on Reddit recently started getting emails from the company confirming that the popular coupon-finding add-on will stop being available in the browser starting December 30, 2026.

Instead of keeping the extension updated across the board, the team wants to put its energy into browsers that have a bigger chunk of their user base. If you still want the automated pop-ups at checkout, you will have to jump ship to Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Opera.

Here’s the email users received:

Hi there,

We’re focusing our efforts on the browsers most PayPal Honey users rely on. As a result, the PayPal Honey extension will no longer be available on Firefox beginning December 30, 2026.

You can keep using the PayPal Honey browser extension on Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Opera, with new and improved features to help you discover deals and earn rewards. Need a hand switching over? Learn how to install the PayPal Honey browser extension here.

Don’t worry, your PayPal Honey rewards, Droplist, and settings will not be affected. You can continue to manage your account, redeem your rewards, and browse deals at www.joinhoney.com using any browser, including Firefox.

Thank you for being part of the PayPal Honey community.

According to the company, account settings, saved Droplist items, and existing rewards will remain safe after the cutoff date. You can still log into the website on Firefox to cash out points or browse deals manually, even if the extension itself is gone.

Some users may find the company’s explanation for this exit a little puzzling, especially its focus on browser popularity. Recommending Opera while saying it’s prioritizing the most-used browsers seems a bit inconsistent, given that Firefox still has a noticeably larger global market share.

Nevertheless, you won’t find many people crying over this loss in the comments. After the massive backlash Honey faced over the last couple of years for hijacking creator affiliate links and hiding better discount codes when stores partner with them, plenty of folks in the community are just saying good riddance.
