Jetpack addons/extensions has been proposed by Mozilla for a long time. The only difficulty is getting addon developers to buy-in to to. Implementing Electrolysis as Mozilla would like to means breaking most “original style” addons. And Jetpack addons cannot do everything / do not have as complete browser access as original style addons. The question is can Mozilla get enough crucial developers to form a basis for Jetpack addons before they kill most original style addons when implemention e10s? And that will for sure happen with most users on auto-update now. Any e10s enabled release will kill most original addons a user has installed.
