Thanks for working on packaging interesting software for Debian!

The problem I see with this one (and jsm.sh) is that it will be a rather
shortlived project given that non-webextension-extensions will stop
working in Firefox 57 which isn't too far away and even the last ESR
version isn't going to be supported forever.

So, I would guess the package needs to be dropped from Debian again
before buster is even released…

Are there any plans from you or upstream for defusing this timebomb?


Especially for this one, I can't help but think I have read about this
leak in a Tor browser context. Could it be that Firefox upstream itself
or via Tor is working on fixing this at the root?


Best regards
