Is there a tool which helps migrating? I have tons of extensions and just iterating over them name-by-name and installing or offering to install what matches would clear a huge obstacle. I see there's a new option to directly import the Chrome extension but I suspect that's not the best.

Yes. It looks at what extensions you have in Chrome and downloads the equivalent Firefox version from Mozilla's add-ons for supported extensions:

Found 4 out of 34.

It does not do what I asked for. I believe it works from a fixed list of extensions.

Here's a pair it doesn't find:

I think they just added something to auto migrate your extensions when possible.
