    Extension developer information from Firefox explains why it was necessary to make some technical changes. What they’ve never explained to my satisfaction is why they took a cautious, curated approach to it reminiscent of Apple.

    The typical approach of a large open source project is to put a “here there be dragons” sign on unstable features and let anyone who wishes to use them anyway do so at their own risk, and that’s the approach I prefer.

      Firefox used to allow a lot more extensions though, until they switched to Fenix UI and restricted them to a selected few. And then they expanded the support again.
