White Star - WebExtensions - albatross - 05-12-2022

Use the note-taking app Joplin. There is a browser extension "Web-Clipper" that allows you to save web pages and screenshots. It is said to be available for Chrome + Firefox. For Vivaldi + Waterfox the Web-Clipper can be downloaded and also works.
When trying for White Star (Monterey), the message "Pale Moon does not support WebExtensions" always appears with reference to Firefox. The same applies to Pale Moon (Windows).
Since I use White Star/Pale Moon a lot, my question is: Can anything be changed or are the WebExtensions not wanted?
Thanks

Sorry but I'm pretty sure Moonchild (main UXP developer) would rather die than put webextensions in UXP.

Looks kind of like they removed that support about 3 years ago. Guessing it wasn't functional and they had no desire to support it.
