We're moving to a webExtensiony future. The idea here is that we'll be a first party consumer of the webExtension APIs so we can help test/drive/expand capabilities.

They will have to adapt. For now they're using data from the experiments to guide API development. For example, the Tab Center experiment used old APIs, but now they've expended the new API and are building a new Tab Center Redux extension at the same time. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-center-re...
