First of all, we understand that this will be frustrating to extension developers, and our decision wasn't made lightly. We went to a lot of effort in the design of the extension system to make it possible for people to self-host. All of the formats and protocols involved in the extension system were made simple with the idea that developers could re-implement them. It makes us sad to take off-store install away.

Of course, no one honors the header, but the movement starts here

"EPUBReader is a Firefox addon which let you read ePub-files just in the browser. You don't need to install additional software! If you click on a link to an ePub-file, you are normally prompted by the Firefox "save as" dialog.

"Over the last few years I reported a bunch of security vulnerabilities in various extensions and by far the most common issue was: “Extension Foo allows execution of remote code in privileged context”. Typically, an RSS reader extension would take the content of the RSS feed (HTML code), format it nicely and insert into the extension window. The issue that is overlooked here is that the RSS feed could contain some JavaScript code and it would then execute with the privileges of the extension — meaning for example that it would get full access to the browser (cookies, history etc) and to user’s files. pdp discovered a similar issue in the Firebug extension that uses an HTML-based templating system and forgot to sanitize some input received from the webpage."

"Enhancing the browser should be as easy as it is to write a web page. The time between having an idea, and an implementation should be as short as possible: Programming the "hello world" add-on for each of the major add-on types should take less than 5 minutes from start to running in the browser. ... (*) It may seem odd that this is referred to as a manifesto, as it is not hundreds of pages long and has not been written by someone with an unkempt beard and filthy military surplus clothing. We believe in simplicity in all its forms. That is why we are inclined toward brevity. And why we shower"
