This is an entirely new endpoint that can't regress any of the existing
portals, and portals are not used internally by the debs on the Desktop
only by snaps, so ok for FFe.

Title:
[FFe] include a new webextensions portal to be used by firefox and
other confined browsers
Status in xdg-desktop-portal package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The request is to add the new webextensions portal which is up for
review upstream on https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-
portal/pull/705
The patch to add to the package would be https://patch-
diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/flatpak/xdg-desktop-
portal/pull/705.patch
The code has been written by James from the Desktop Team and reviewed
by Olivier from Desktop and got a security review from Alex.
The regression potential is null since that's a new feature
The code is needed for the firefox messaging protocol to keep working
which is seen as an important feature that would regress in the deb to
snap transition otherwise.
The feature has been discussed on https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/native-
messaging-support-in-strictly-confined-browser-snaps
Olivier is working on getting the firefox side of the changes ready
but those aren't part of this FFe since they will be integrated as the
firefox snap gets updated
