    Mozilla is silent about Firefox in general, not just about Manifest v2 and v3. I assume there is nothing new to report. Mozilla already stated somewhere they will support V2 and the extensions will work as before. But I don’t understand why Mozilla does not use this moment from marketing standpoint to market the Firefox Extension Manifest V2 the hell out of it.

          Google lawyers would make the calculation on how much, if, when, what etc monthly on this.

          Mozilla’s actions would factor into the calculation, but are definitely not the deciding factor.
