We investigated what we would need for porting the extensions over to
Webextensions a while ago in
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17248.

The current plan has not changed: we still plan to port our extensions
over to the Webextensions framework. It might need some upstream changes
which we would provide with own patches but we'll see.
