"Pale Moon's supported extension technologies are XUL based (either overlay, bootstrapped or using the deprecated jetpack libraries), and WebExtensions are not and will not be supported by Pale Moon in any way, shape or form."

I am guilty of reasonable amount of not reading shit myself, but this is just ridiculous.

See also our roadmap: http://www.palemoon.org/roadmap.shtml
WebExtensions
We will not be supporting WebExtensions of any kind in Pale Moon. Our current extension technologies provide all the features, functionality and above all API access for any extension to do anything it has to, including the limited subset that is offered by WebExtensions.
