Adding to this issue I would like to give some of my opinion on webext.

To be honest Firefox add-ons process is so grotesque. For instance I can't load my extension without signing in Firefox stable version. And their tool especially web-ext has lot of issues like takes lot of time, gives pesky error if your system time is incorrect (my isp has blocked ntp servers and idk why and switching to vpn just to update is painful tbh). And developing addon is also hard for firefox compared to chrome as the dev tools frequently give message unrelated to extension etc.

Sometime I get so angry but I have been using firefox nearly for decades. Its so hard for me :(
