I am quoting Kev Needham from https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/:
"We want to reiterate our commitment to our add-on development community, and will work with you in porting extensions, designing new APIs, and creating innovative new add-ons that make Firefox great."
If this is true then Mozilla will need to develop many apis in order to support Greasemoney and Scriptish.. if it is not true then it will be impossible to port these extensions which I want to see done and would have been possible with the sdk.
Please inform me as to how porting these extensions will be possible, because afaict it is not possible with current plans.

Native.js looks like a bad approach as I describe in bug 1199718, but I am making this bug depend on a resolution of bug 1199718 because other bugs like this one are doing the same.

Is there something that I am missing? There are add-ons like Tampermonkey which almost works in Firefox which do a Greasemonkey or Scriptish content script per page. The only thing that is obvious to me is the configuration of the add-on in about:addons, that's something we've discussed and is not currently a priority. There are multiple other ways to do the preference management.

If there's something specific I'm missing here, please let me know.
