In MV3 we plan to fully deprecate "applications" from the manifest.json, in favor from the other alias "browser_specific_settings" (which we support from quite a long time and so it should be backward compatible enough also with older Firefox versions) and so we may change the template-manifest.json part of this repo to make sure we migrated the adb addon away from it ahead to its future deprecation.
The diff to apply the change describe above would look like in the following diff:
diff --git a/extension/template-manifest.json b/extension/template-manifest.json

NOTE: the template-updates.json file also includes an "applications" property which SHOULD NOT be changed to "browser_specific_settings", for that one Firefox doesn't yet support any alias named "browser_specific_settings" and unfortunately its named and its format looks basically the same as the manifest.json one which may be confusing and so I'm calling it out explicitly in this issue to make sure we don't mistakenly change that one along with the manifest.json one.

Thanks for filing @rpl ! Do you know we can expect applications to be fully deprecated. Just to know how urgent it is for us to release an updated version of the extension
I noticed this as part of reviewing https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D160057 (part of Bug 1797050) and so I thought to file this followup upfront:
