Comment (by legind):

 Testing between Firefox 52 (ESR) and Firefox 55.

 When JavaScript is disabled in 55, the extension behaves properly upon
 browser load.
 When JavaScript is disabled in 52 ESR, the extension does not redirect
 URLs and the popup is loaded with blank fields.

 So this seems to be a problem Firefox fixed between the two versions.  I
 wonder if we can get this backported to ESR.  I'm still not sure what the
 *exact* problem is, since Firefox does not throw any errors in the
 debugger.
