content: It is public knowledge that Mozilla has chosen to dump XUL and transition to Web Extensions API, but it won't be happening that fast. For starters, all popular extensions will have to be re-written from scratch (not just Noscript and ABP). The article, more over, isn't about this isolated incident involving these two addons, but the broader issue of a lack of secure boundaries between extensions in firefox. The fact that firefox doesn't have granular permissions for extensions is another pain that we hope will be removed once we transition to Web Extensions API.
