"WebExtensions" is a nebulous term and I can find no where that Chrome calls their API WebExtensions, it is simply the "ChromeAPI"

Mozilla as even stopped using the term WebExtensions, instead just going with Extensions [2]

The "spec" that most people refer to as WebExtensions, is BrowserExtensions orginally published by Microsoft via W3C [1]
