Can you elaborate? I don't really remember much about those kinds of things.

This I think was necessary if you want a modern, secure browser. Wouldn't be against a more extensive extension API that double-checked with the user wrt access to more dangerous permissions, which is partly what the current ones do already.
- reitanqild 3y agoThe implementation of the old API was a problem: extension authors could do almost whatever they wanted. Today however Mozilla stalls at giving us back basic primitives like for example a programmatic way to hide the top tab bar when an extension provide an alternative tab bar like Tree Style Tabs or Sideberry.
