Although some extensions are hopeless, as pointed out earlier in the
thread. I maintain a small extension to toggle proxy configurations and
had to completely rewrite it to support webextensions and even though it
still carries the same name/branding, it is a completely different
extension regarding its features (still better than letting users down).
I feel sorry for people who put a lot of effort maintaining their
extensions who now have to either abandon them and their users or
completely rewrite their extensions.
