Just curious will the new Web Extensions style allow add-ons like Classic Theme Restorer [1] and Tree-style Tab [2] that change the Firefox UI? [1] https://add

  Previously the WebExtensions wiki mentioned that they were planning to support functionality for TreeStyle tabs. As of https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=WebExtensions&diff=1134951&oldid=1134950 https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=WebExtensions&diff=... it no longer does; no idea how much to read into that though.

    the webextensions/future[1] page tracks the new APIs needed to support existing "interesting addons" [1] https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/Future https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions/Future

      That page hasn't been updated since 2015. The linked uservoice site[1] for feedback has also been shut down (most of the activity was protest). [1] https://webextensions.uservoice.com/ https://webextensions.uservoice.com/

  The Classic Theme Restorer page says "CTR will stop working on Firefox 57 (release) when Mozilla drops support for XUL / XPCOM / legacy add-ons, but it will still work on Firefox 52 ESR until Firefox 59 ESR replaces it in 2018 (~Q2)."

    It sounds like Tree-style Tabs will stop working then as well. That will be a sad day. Tree-style Tabs and some form of mouse gestures are pretty much all I need.

      I won't need either of those, but this is a major part of why I like Firefox, each person can make it their own. These in particular make Firefox my own (your Firefox is not my firefox, but your firefox is OK), and I will be sad if they disappear without replacement: Disable Style Button https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-style-button/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-style...
