:kmag, I can not understand why you deleted the blocking bug without any explanation. Anyway, I can reproduce the problem with WebExtensions version on Nightly63.0a1 (and Firefox55.0 with the attached modified one). And I got same regression window and same culprit changesets.

(In reply to Alice0775 White from comment #6) > :kmag, I can not understand why you deleted the blocking bug without any > explanation. In c2, three bugs were identified in the regression window; in removing the other two in , are you saying that you have narrowed it to only be 1368102? If the blocking is removed, it's because this is not directly tied to that bug. If you're confident on that range, we can investigate starting there, but won't block until something is confirmed.

I narrowed down the range, See comment#3.
It seems that only one add-on is affected. So, It is a waste time to investigate bug.

Well, if this only manifests with one extension, then we could reach out to Gesturefy.
