AIUI the devs are of the opinion that continuing work on Torbutton (the
extension for vanilla Firefox) is a drain on resources and offers too
many opportunities for compromise, e.g. by browser fingerprinting. Ergo,
further development will be done directly on the browser code.

Perhaps one of them will be happy to elaborate further.
