Use OAuth 2.0 in Firefox WebExtension

I have built an open sourced extension some time ago, and the extension needs OAuth 2.0 to access some Google Drive API.

Currently, my Chrome extension uses identity.launchWebAuthFlow to access to the OAuth, and Firefox XPI extension uses oauthorizer for the OAuth.

Now, I want to convert the Firefox extension from XPI to WebExtension for easier maintenance in the future (as Chrome and Firefox WebExtensions are very much alike).

I thought the migration should be easy as I already got two versions of extensions on hand. But after some research I can't find an easy way to access the OAuth 2.0 inside the Firefox WebExtension.

Some advices would be greatly appreciated.
