Will LibX be updated for Firefox 57 this month?

[Michael Price]

Just tuning up my edition and came across the "Legacy" badge while managing my Firefox add-ons. 

I then tried to install LibX onto the FF Aurora update channel (58.0b1) which failed... 😢

We hope it will continue to be supported! It's increased in value for us recently as our vendors and subscriptions have changed.

Thanks as ever!

I second this - it would be great to at least get an update on any upgrade plans, so we can direct our users accordingly, thanks!

I'll 3rd this - I don't think I can bear to see LibX go.

We're looking into it, but no promises at this point.

We had a partially working prototype: https://github.com/ntarora/libx-prototype 

Neel has already graduated, but I'll check with him what it would take to deploy this.

Happy New Year all!

Has there been any progress on LibX Firefox 57+ compatibility since November, or an update on any expected plans? LibX is a valuable tool for our users, and we hope it continues to be supported.
