Title:
  Convert to web extension

Status in Ubufox Extension:
  Confirmed
Status in ubufox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Firefox 57 and later will only allow to load web extensions [1][2].
  This add on is currently a legacy extension, and Firefox will refuse
  to load it starting with Version 57. Therefore, this extension needs
  to be ported [3].

  Current nightlies of Firefox already only accept to load WebExtensions
  [4].
