The likely end of DownThemAll

I'll be pretty upset if the addons that let you modify the Firefox UI via XUL have to go away. Tree-style tabs[1] for example is one of the major extensions keeping me with FF. There's really no alternative for Chrome since they can't completely change the tab UI like Firefox can. Check out the screenshots!

Tree Style Tabs is one of my favourite browser extensions of all time, but it's alreody pretty broken on Firefox 42, and apparently it depends quite a bit on reaching into the browser's UI code and rewritiing chunks of it. I will be very sad if it breaks completely, but not very surprised.

when I lose Tree Style Tabs, I will be deeply saddened and how I browse will be greatly changed.

As is mentioned on the WebExtensions page, they want to add APIs enabling things like that.

Wouldn't something like Tabs Outliner in Chrome be a suitable replacement?

What would be the UX issues there for people switching over? Docking? Tabs styling?
