Waterfox: Moving from Mozilla Firefox; have some questions

[ghost]

1. Does Waterfox support WebExtensions? If so, what version is it? Firefox 55 equivalent?
2. Will you continue allowing installation of "unsigned add-on"?
3. I can't find Waterfox on "F-Droid". Any chance adding it to FDroid because I don't use google.

Bugs:

1. In "about:addons", 2 lines:
   a) Add-on compat check is disabled [Enable]
   b) Check to see if your plugins are up to date
   Clicking a's [Enable] and b's link does not work at all.

Feature request:

1. Add an option to hide "Sign in to Sync" from burger menu.
   Tor Browser already hide it, and it would be nice if I can hide it.

Question:

1. "about:debugging#addons": Why there are so many Language packs? I just need English. How can I delete else? (I've downloaded Portable edition)
2. I heard you're building "Waterfox add-ons" store. As a extension developer, when can I upload some?

@laniakea64 thanks, more obscurely:

• Shifting the Firefox Sync icon to the left : FirefoxCSS

– is it even possible?

I don't have a Sync account, so I can't investigate that, sorry.

Wow, that's really helpful replies.

userChrome.css

Hmm, this idea is good but I'd like to see a checkbox. Waterfox removed all(?) Mozilla trackers so why not add it.

This doesn't tell me much. "The future variant will be: Based on ESR releases" is obvious.
Which ESR? ESR52? ESR60?

Does WF 56.2.1 support:

• Firefox ~56 WebExt APIs
• Firefox ESR 52 WebExt APIs
• Firefox ESR 60 WebExt APIs

??

Language pack

… Waterfox removed all(?) Mozilla trackers …

Incidentally, Are there any alternatives to Firefox Sync? : waterfox

– and I shouldn't assume that all Mozilla-related services are tracking. https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/q/104628/18125 for example.
