I see a security disaster comming if addons ask users to install
companion
apps. Most of them may be legit but I am not keen to try out.
Firefox byebye
as you can see it don't really work and the opposite is true with
FF57 so
please stop spread uneducated FUD with "Firefox byebye" backed by
nothing
when the new addon-api restricts addons much more in what they can do as
before which is the root cause of the topics problem
Read again. The addon asked him to install a "companion app" *because*
of the
restricted addon-api.
That is an untrusted binary downloaded somewhere, never reviewed by
anyone from
mozilla with *full* access to your machine. How this is an improvement
over the
previous addon-api only mozilla knows
read the whole thread
this did *not* work and nobody of both of us knows if the UI is just a
leftover and the whole extension until now does not work properly with FF57
fact is that the new API is *much more* restricted than the old one
if you would *really* follow discussions in general you would know that
because currently people also discuss what happens with thunderbird and
if it ever get the new API hwat happens with enigmail because it relies
on calling the gnupg binary which is *no longer* possible
again: don't spread FUD based on wild assumptions
here you go:

I have no hopes that they will implement proper APIs, not even for file
writing[0 again]. Other than file writing, there are no proper APIs to
do requests, there are no proper APIs for other stuff such as executing
files, other kinds of OS integration, UI integration and so on and etc
and pp.
