Often native code plugins like Unit圓D and flash, that only ran on a few OSs and were turning the Internet into a propreitary content platform where you needed closed source OSs and plugins to be able to access content. Firefox 57 blows Firefox 56, 55, 54 and on back to hell for speed. But I'm too lazy to run my own benchmarks to check. If Pale Moon can match Firefox for speed and support XUL, awesome. So the switch to WebExtensions API for plugins was more about speed than it was about security. And speed is probably the biggest reason Firefox has been losing so many users to Chrome on the desktop. So even if the Firefox developers wanted to keep XUL extensions, it would mean keeping Firefox slow relative to Chrome. My understanding is that the XUL plugin API is inherently singlethreaded and single process.

no different than you have to be careful what rando windows app you download and use. And yeah that means you have to be careful which ones you use. As good as jumping in and modifying the browser source code, except you don't have to know C++ and they can be distributed in a more convenient form than patches/git pulls or whatever than you then have to build. Yes they aren't sandboxed or anything, that's the goddamn point.
Ok, yeah the plugin api is pointless now.
