The old extension mechanism was Firefox's greatest strength and
greatest weakness.
<p>Giving extension developers access to almost any part of our
codebase gave them a lot of power but it was easy to create
extensions that slowed down the browser and made it unstable...
using the web extension model gives us much more control over this
and will allow us to share extensions with other browsers, which
is a win win for everybody.</p>
<p>This positive feedback definitely gives us that nice warm fuzzy
feeling, thanks for that.</p>

<p><tt>Pity only that some add-ons were left behind, but having
looked at some real bad code in add-ons that affects Firefox,
it's understandable that you're tightening the rules of what
can and can't be done by introducing a new add-ons interface.</tt></p>
