This just seems ridiculous. They just spent years working Firefox into a multiprocess design, in no small part for security. And the same for completely dropping the entrenched extension legacy model (thereby frustrating lots of devs and users). There are other past and current examples where Mozilla is focusing on and improving security in Firefox.
