Details

As part of the new configuration, we should allow downloading new WebExtensions.

  • The configuration already allows to specify the WebExtensionId and WebExtensionVersion.
  • If we do not have that as a built-in engine, then we should temporary not try and show it, but queue it for download.
  • Once downloaded, the extension should be installed.
  • Ideally, we should remove the downloaded engine from the profile if Firefox later gains the built-in engine equivalent (though we could make this a follow-up).

We've changed track for what we want to do here, so I'm going to close this out and file fresh bugs for the various bits we need.
