Comment (by igt0):

 I took a look in what is needed to make it work:

 1. jpm[0] generates the install.rdf and it is deprecated. it sets the
 optionsType to 2 or 3[1]. we need to update it (or even the generated xpi)
 to use 3 or 5.

 2. Jetpack was removed in FF57[2], and tor-browser-settings uses it. So we
 need import it to tor-browser-settings(it is huge) or remove all the
 JetPack dependencies from the code.

 I am not sure if the effort to make it work again makes sense or if we
 should redo it based on the new design.
