One of the most important pieces for me personally (but then I'm not a
developer here, just an observer) is that I really want Thunderbird to
run *inside* of Firefox in some way. I want links in emails marked as
visitied if I have read them in the browser. I want a feed reader that
can break entries down into plain text without the nasty site formatting
but give me the full entry on the website in an instant. I don't want to
jump between mail app and browser app all the time for all the web
content mentioned in messages I read. I may want to organize my open
email tabs the same way I ogranize web tabs, and in a single system.
Also, I do not want to taint my system with a v8 or Blink running all
the time, all I care about is code that is actually developed in the
open by someone respecting people on the web and not by someone who
collects every bit of data and tracks every whim of my existence for ad
targeting. So if I should use TB, it better run on a Gecko or Servo or
so, and not in any framework that requires Google software.
All that said, I recently read that ES modules are already in Firefox
code, I now found that
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=568953 is the overall
tracking bug and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1330657
landed module scripts behind a pref in Firefox 54 (currently Beta).
