Add-ons • Re: Working on a Greasemonkey fork for Pale Moon

They are? So am I again an oddball in thinking having to restart the browser for installing extensions is so Windows 95?

No, I think that's a valid opinion, and important feedback. Users that do think restartless extensions are important should speak up more, it's just everyone I've seen on the forums talking about this issue previously seems to say overlay extensions are the way to go, but a vote for restartless matters. The OP did ask for feedback, and I think this could be valuable.

Then again, maybe people who prefer them are afraid to say so because of all the people that think they're either harder to develop, or seem too "Mozilla" somehow. Not sure. To be fair, I am not really that involved in the extension development ecosystem myself.
