Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:3 sukhbir]:
 > Just a thought: have we looked at or are considering the use of
 `extensions.legacy.exceptions` to make XUL/XPCOM legacy add-ons still
 work? Sorry for commenting without actually investigating it but I had
 planned to do it for TorBirdy as well but at least for that it is no
 longer required since Thunderbird is not dropping support for legacy add-
 ons, at least not in the current beta till Thunderbird 60. (From
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Add-ons_Guide_57).

 legacy add-ons (Firefox 58 seems to be using it) or are further
 architectural changes required?

 This seems definitely worth investigating. Of course, to choose this
 option, it would need to work for mobile as well.
