Comment (by traumschule):

 It's fine to ask but bad to not show the changelog or .xpi fingerprint:
 {{{
 2018.8.22
   * Adding a warning to pages which 'Block all unencrypted requests' is
 unable to upgrade
   * Adding a UX that enables users to add, delete, and edit update
 channels
   * Reduces memory overhead by optimizing exclusion regex
   * Block insecure FTP connections when 'Block all unencrypted requests'
 is checked
   * Bundled ruleset updates
 }}}
 With this update users (or scripts) can add new update channels. Not
 necessarily a good thing.
