The notable exceptions are the downloads.download (implementation in progress) and the browserData APIs.
While in google store the 1 * ratings are skyrocketing, not least for the non-usability of bookmarks in recent releases, I wonder what will be the next reason to repeat this recurring pattern?

Also, a whole lot of web documentation does not reflect the ongoing state of affairs, misleading users into seeking to install those add-ons from AMO, which used to work very well. This problem usually does not result in 5 ***** star ratings by many users.
The often quoted “user experience” is not what it used to be, some say.
We hope to include support for more add-ons with future updates. However, the team is evaluating how to do this in a way that avoids the security and compatibility issues we had with previous versions of Firefox.
If this is a good enough reason to make many users unhappy in 2020, then it sure sounds good enough a justification for 2021 too, and the following years.
Before long there will be a feature-frozen “waterfox for android” so people can just run one piece of browser software and never ever “update” it at all henceforth!
I guess, users will have to decide for themselves.
Do they want to follow the “moz://a officaldom” and accept their “telemetry” and such intrusions etc., or do they prefer Iceraven that strives to stay clear of all telemetry as soon as possible.
