Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:7 gk]:
 > I think keeping that extension, auditing it, and making sure it does not
 get some out-of-bound Mozilla update is the way to go. When backporting
 that fix we should, however, make sure the `esr` policy applies to us.

 Kathy and I can take this task unless you plan to work on it. We did 1/2
 an audit yesterday already. We will start on this as soon as finish #21778
 (I think we are close; we started working on that ticket because it seemed
 a little easier than #21766 and we thought doing so would help us learn
 what to do for #21766).
