| I think thats pretty unfair when mozilla has been straight up refusing to implement webextension equivilents to XUL based functionality that a lot of addons depend on. Such as the fact there is no way to enumerate what sites have html5 local storage stuff stored, thus no way to control or clear it on a per site basis, and they are not interested in changing this, rendering an addon like what self destructing cookies does imposisble... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1329745 Or the ability for extensions to construct permission sandboxing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1353468 There is objectively a LOT of functionality that is just plain never going to be implemented, thats far from the fault of the extension authors. Many have been trying to work with mozilla to push in the functionality they need, but if they just get disregaurded and ignored what are they supposed to do exactly? Don't try to place the blame for this on the extension authors. |
When I was porting my extension, my big worry was "is there going to be something I need to do that doesn't work?" But there were no show-stopper bugs.
