No, no, no! It was supporting all the desktop extensions. For years. Until the damn buggy rewrite for no good reason. And then we were suddenly left with like 5 of them.

For a year after that I was still running the last stable release. But unfortunately the web evolves too fast.

At least with firefox beta, you can create your own collection of extensions and use those. That's what I do and I can install any extension.
