First EME, then abruptly switching to WebExtensions
Why do you think switching to WebExtensions only and with better API support such a bad thing? Yeah, developers will need to port their extensions, but it with WebExtensions Firefox can finally have better performance.

WebExtensions are not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that instead of phasing the old extensions out gradually, Mozilla decided to announce that within a relatively short while the extensions would be dropped completely.
Are you kidding? That's exactly what they did: They announced the deprecation of XUL/XPCOM more than 2 years ago: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/
