Don't know if this is obviously true or not. I use Chrome when I have to. Same goes for Firefox. But I have a long standing library of add-ons that work great with PaleMoon, and aren't available in the planned obsolescence zone. Febe, TreeStyleTabs, TabSetSaver, MozAarchiver for example (at least as far as I know). Seems to me there's plenty of room for refining and advancing add-on functionality using 'XUL' (?) (hope I got that right). Also very impressed that PaleMoon drops into the MAC OSX hell-hole so neatly and reliably. (So does Thunderbird, to my surprise). When people invest time learning a set of tools, its extremely valuable to know you can take 'em with you, even as the target platforms become more exotic.

"Keeping up" with banking sites is usually not actual keeping up with them, but matter of general web compatibility. And i don't think that UXP shouldn't endeavor to improve the latter.
And for Firefox - is there even anything left to keep up? It is now close to chrome platform to gather telemetry and promote various mozilla services, which are not things to keep up to. UXP developers pull useful code and relevant security patches, but that's it pretty much.

And i don't get how extensions are even relevant to above.
