# WebExtensionSupport

`object WebExtensionSupport` [(source)](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/blob/master/components/support/webextensions/src/main/java/mozilla/components/support/webextensions/WebExtensionSupport.kt#L34)

Provides functionality to make sure web extension related events in the
[Engine](../../mozilla.components.concept.engine/-engine/index.md) are reflected in the browser state by dispatching the
corresponding actions to the [BrowserStore](../../mozilla.components.browser.state.store/-browser-store/index.md).

### Functions

| [awaitInitialization](await-initialization.md) | `suspend fun awaitInitialization(): `[`Unit`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html)<br>Awaits for completion of the initialization process (completes when the state of all installed extensions is known). |
