oauth2 and key should be supported or should have some alternatives.

Setting as an Extension Compatibility issue, please correct if this is not the case.

While the dup is appropriate, it should also be noted that there will never be compatibility here.  If we implement the manifest data and other identity apis, it will be against our own auth systems, not googles.  You will need to use identity.launchWebAuthFlow() in Firefox to auth with Google.
