  That article is more than 1 year old. And Mozilla is going beyond the Chrome APIs, they are implementing shims and additional APIs to port almost everything over.

    Is there a statement otherwise from DownThemAll? I haven't found anything, just references to that blog post.

      At least they are releasing new versions yet: http://www.downthemall.net/downthemall-3-0-5/ http://www.downthemall.net/downthemall-3-0-5/ “After a rather long long time, with many new things to address such as Australis, e10s, limited time we could spend on the project, a little lack of motivation after mozilla required mostly pointless signatures and announced to kill XUL add-ons…” - Nils, September 2016

      There is a reply on a review for the new release from September 1, 2016 which says: "Just to clarify: We did not port it to the WebExtensions API, nor do we think it is possible to port it in any significant manner to the WebExtensions API..." https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/downthemall/reviews/?page=3 https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/downthemall/r...

      I am the DownThemAll! developer. The statement is still current. I communicated to the mozilla people who got in touch with me that there will not be a crippled DownThemAll!, at least not from me.
