From Nils Maier, developer of some of the most complex and most popular extensions, DownThemAll! (+ MinTrayR): Read my comments

That comment by Giorgio (nice guy btw, shared a room with him on at a couple of mozilla events) is over a year old by now and rather optimistic. So far, nothing of that happened, nor will it ever happened at a scale that actually accommodates most add-on developers.

He wrote that it was already happening a year ago: at this moment I'm working within Mozilla's Electrolysis team and with other add-on authors, involved in the design of mechanisms and processes helping developers experiment in directions not supported yet by the "official" the WebExtensions API

I'm not an add-on developer but I've read about it happening in other places too, and I know for a fact that Giorgio is working on Firefox WebExtensions issues in Bugzilla.
