		detaro on Aug 11, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Firefox 42 will not allow unsigned extensions Allowing people to implement viewers for file types that run in the sandbox as plugins seems like a good idea then.

A plugin API separate from the Web APIs is itself a large source of complexity and bloat.
