For clarification: it is possible to reimplement most Firefox entirely as an extension. For instance, Bookmarks, Find in Page, Save As, Tabbed Browsing, Session Restore, etc. could all be implemented as extensions. Not only that, but some of these features were initially implemented as extensions and were then bundled with Firefox.
In other words, the questions that needs to be asked here are: 1. does it work well? 2. does it serve users? 3. does it hurt privacy or security? I haven't checked 3., but the answer to questions 1. and 2. is very much "yes". Of course, 1. could be improved, and I'm sure that it will.
