Testing Web extensions

[PolariTOON]

Description

Web extensions are not currently tested as part of WPT, although there are built on the web platform.

Rationale

The Web Extensions Community Group has shown interest in using WPT to test extensions ( https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/blob/main/_minutes/2024-03-18-san-diego-meetup.md#:~:text=WPT , w3c/webdriver-bidi#778 (comment) ).

Investigation Roadmap

Integrating with the WebDriver protocol seems to be a step towards this goal: https://www.w3.org/2024/09/26-webdriver-minutes.html#t14
Chrome has an experimental prototype: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Extensions/
