Releasing WebExtension using GitHub Actions

My Workflow

I'm the author of an open-source browser extension and I want to share the workflow that I have created for:

• releasing the extension to Chrome Web Store
• releasing the extension to Firefox Add-ons
• packaging the extension into various artifacts for offline distribution (crx and xpi files)

I wasn't able to find any existing solutions that can meet these requirements and I have prepared a set of actions and a complete solution in form of several workflows to set up the whole process.

They are based on my practical experience of dealing with all difficulties of interacting with the extension stores and their undocumented behaviour.
