My bit of information on this is a remark by certpatrol upstream a while
ago Firefox 62 was to introduce new API to access cert data, as
documented in
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/webRequest/getSecurityInfo>

To be honest, I lack the skills to check whether this actually happened
(probably yes), and is usable to re-create certpatrol for webext
(hopefully yes). And I haven't checked yet whether certpatrol upstream
is willing to do the job. Allow me some time to resolve this.

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind to keep this in unstable for the sake of some
spin-offs/forks that still support xul, like pale moon - but I
understand if people consider this something Debian isn't intended for.

Cheers,
