Bug Description
The request is to add the new webextensions portal which is up for review upstream on https:/
The patch to add to the package would be https:/
The code has been written by James from the Desktop Team and reviewed by Olivier from Desktop and got a security review from Alex.
The regression potential is null since that's a new feature
The code is needed for the firefox messaging protocol to keep working which is seen as an important feature that would regress in the deb to snap transition otherwise.
The feature has been discussed on https:/
Olivier is working on getting the firefox side of the changes ready but those aren't part of this FFe since they will be integrated as the firefox snap gets updated

This is an entirely new endpoint that can't regress any of the existing portals, and portals are not used internally by the debs on the Desktop only by snaps, so ok for FFe.
