Ubufox replacement/ discontinue?

[Bryan Quigley]

Ubufox is an old style add-on that from my understanding will stop working in the Firefox 53/54 timeframe.

Is there interest in making a new style add-on or should whatever changes we want be incorporated directly (see if we can add a blurb to the Firefox home page instead of making our own, etc).

If we end up discontinuing it we, need to reset the users homepage (if it's the default) before we go.

Also likely has an impact on bugs like: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubufox/+bug/1627808

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
