INSTALLING EVERY* FIREFOX EXTENSION

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

This dev scraped all 84,000 Firefox extensions and tried to install them simultaneously, surfacing fun finds along the way (a 196 MB chess extension, one requesting 3,695 permissions, and a PUA network with 700K+ users hijacking search to a Yahoo affiliate code). After ten failed attempts, a friend's beefier VM finally booted Firefox with all of them. Extensions.json hit 189 MB, memory sat at 27–37 GB, about:addons took 6 hours to load, and example.com never loaded.
