Custom extensions are the easiest: Firefox loads the exact same unpacked extensions Chrome does.

Both follow the WebExtensions-standard, so there’s not really much to “port”, if anything.

With newer versions of firefox you can only temporarily load unpacked extensions. You need to re-add them if you relaunch firefox.
