Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : webext-uppity
Version : 2.1

Programming Lang: JavaScript
Description : toolbar button to "go up" on the web
Navigate up one level (directory) on the web. URLs are arranged
in a way similar to a file system, with other well defined pieces.
Uppity will remove an in-page anchor, the querystring,
the file, and the last directory in that order, whichever is first
found. The keyboard shortcut ALT-Up will also navigate this way.
The toolbar button is controlled like any other toolbar button. Right click on your toolbar, choose Customize, and then just drag-and-drop the Uppity button to where you like it.
This package may be useful as a replacement for xul-ext-uppity,
which was removed because of the incompatibility with recent Firefox:

The rewrite as a WebExtension was mentioned in the bug report:

I hope someone is willing to package the new version.
Thanks for your time!
