For accessibility reasons, I have to use a browser that supports XUL extensions as one extension I use everyday is impossible to port to WebExtensions. Unfortunately, with Waterfox Classic (which can use both XUL and WebExtensions) no longer being developed, that means I have to use either PaleMoon or Basilisk, neither of which supports WebExtensions.

Is there any possibility that an XUL version could be made, that would allow me (and the admittedly small number of other Palemoon/Basilisk users) to use it?

After some research, I'm sad to say I'm personally not going to create a XUL version of this extension.
The technology has been almost unanimously abandoned since 2017, and I haven't been able to find any modern documentation or tools. Though it should technically be possible to convert this extension, since I've seen other modern extensions in the PaleMoon/Basilisk stores, doing so is currently just too much effort for me.

If anyone reading this feels up to the task; PRs are very welcome.

That's disappointing, but understandable. I have no idea how much work it would take to port; I just figured it can't hurt to ask.
