[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#878425: it's all text will stop working in Firefox 57

[Antoine Beaupre]

Package: xul-ext-itsalltext
Version: 1.9.2-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Once Firefox 57 hits the archive, this extension will completely stop
working, as it relies on the older XUL API. It also cannot be ported
to the new web-ext API cleanly, as it is a fundamental shift in the
way it works:

The most promising alternative seems to be GhostText:

... which should be packaged for Debian. Maybe it could beprovided as
a replacement package for this?
