The extension API doesn't have enough access for this.
While it is opt-in and disabled by default, this is the real problem.
What are they missing? So far, all they've added is a sidebar and a couple extra right-click menu additions. Both of these are available for all extensions.
Mozilla isn't in charge of the extension API, it uses Chromium's WebExtensions API
Yeah, just create an entirely new, incompatible extension engine from scratch for this one feature specifically!
