as you can see it don't really work and the opposite is true with FF57 so
please stop spread uneducated FUD with "Firefox byebye" backed by nothing
when the new addon-api restricts addons much more in what they can do as
before which is the root cause of the topics problem
Read again. The addon asked him to install a "companion app" *because* of the
restricted addon-api.
That is an untrusted binary downloaded somewhere, never reviewed by anyone from
mozilla with *full* access to your machine. How this is an improvement over the
previous addon-api only mozilla knows.
