As someone involved in the WebExtensions Community Group who has been (slowly) trying to figure out what, if anything, we should do at the platform level around these use cases, I …

Oh, this is interesting! I assume most of the heavy lifting to identify and filter content is being performed by the content script. In practice have you see any issues with models…

Do you mean Firefox on iOS? If so, that would require the firefox-ios project to adopt BrowserEngineKit, which is relatively new. Firefox for iOS WebExtension support is being trac…

Also pretty easy with Firefox's new profile manager https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-management

Just took a quick glance at your extension and observed that it's currently using the "debugger" permission. What features necessitated using this API rather than leveraging conten…

Simeon from the Firefox Add-ons team here. Sorry about the rocky experience. I realize this is a bit late for your situation, but earlier this year the source code submission docs …

No one does at the moment. The deprecation is on hold, but Chrome has stated that they "will provide at least 6 months between a timeline announcement and any experiments deprecati…
