1836555 - Add a new "extensions" migration resource type

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Migration, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Tim Giles [:tgiles]]

To more easily migrate extensions from other browsers, we'll need add and handle the new "extensions" resource type. This will require (from :mconley's initial breakdown of work):

1. Adding a new type of extensions to this set of bitmasks
2. Creating a new MigratorResource that subclasses from ChromeProfileMigrator that can return if any extensions are detected in the selected profile.
   • Helpful reference about importing credit cards from Chrome
   • Helpful reference about importing history from Safari
3. Calling an API from the AddonsManager to find, download, install, and enable the previously discovered extensions. Note, the API for this is not yet defined.

My opinion is, that extensions from other browsers are not compatible with Firefox.
