Comment (by cypherpunks):

 As stated by the other cypherpunk in #19, Mozilla are removing the stuff
 that is no longer needed when XPCOM extensions are no longer supported
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1347507

 Also porting it to WebExtension early may be a great way to catch all the
 bugs before it's production ready.
