What Hacker News says
9 sourcesThe hard fork was "Waterfox Classic", which just became unsustainable to maintain.
Rather than support for XPI (which is just the packaging for Firefox webextensions), the current version of Waterfox does still support bootstrapped extensions - in theory anyone can still write one, with access to all the privileged JavaScript APIs typically not accessible to MV2/MV3 webextensions.
It's not widely used though, there are two repos I'm aware of that take advantage of this:

In 15 Years of Forking> Better browser UX, in my strongly-held opinion, starts with vertical tabs. With horizontal tabs, you can have maybe 6 to 8 tabs open before things tabs get difficult to manage or track.
TabMixPlus! Dynamic width vertically scrollable fully customizable multirow tab bar. I have 50 tabs open, 22 on screen, and perfect overview. It still technically runs on current Firefox, but you have to engage in some very vigorous modding. See the README https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus but be aware that this will completely disable extension signature validation. (I blame Mozilla.)

In Why did Mozilla remove XUL add-ons? (2020)I finally got time to try https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus and it worked! Thank you for the suggestion.

In Improving Firefox Responsiveness on macOSIt is still developed but you have to enable userchrome.js scripting support to install it.

In Mozilla reaffirms that Firefox will continue to support current content blockersHi, commenting here because there's no private messages: I saw your comment about having a browser that still supports TabMixPlus/multirow tabs. If you check the readme on https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus, you'll find steps to patch TMP into current Firefox versions. Note that this may impact your security.
