I could switch to Chrome but I have Firefox set up already and know how it works.

I sincerely hate the Firefox developers for breaking addons constantly and now making it so I can't even edit addons without a painful signing process.

Addons in Firefox seemed more powerful in the past but I'm confident WebExtensions will remove this advantage.

Exhibit A for why it's a good idea to allow addons only through a specified addons API (i.e. how Chrome does it): your users won't hate you merely for daring to make normal changes to your codebase.
