See if this is an SDK add-on.

It's not an SDK add-on. I looked quickly at the source. The problem is that it's trying to create DOM elements in a content page using CPOWs. This mostly works but I think there might be something wrong with the "click" event handler.

I don't think this will be too hard to fix, but I guess we need to get in touch with the author first :-(.

The domain name of this user doesn't exist.
The user doesn't exist on Linkedin, twitter or Github under this name at least.

We haven't been able to reach the author of this popular add-on, despite outreach over a long period of time.  We're not sure on the contact information that we have.  We are hopeful for a migration,due to recent upgrades.

If there isn't a webextension version by Firefox 57 to have an alternative(s) suggested, until migrated.

Alternatives are 100% for the user experience.  After they migrate if a user needs an add-on that didn't migrate, they can find one to meet their need. 

As soon as an add-on has a webextension version update, the add-on will be updated and re-enabled for the user.  Alternative suggestions go away automatically (since there is no UX for alternatives for enabled add-ons).
