Bump max version to 53 #208

Works for me too with Firefox 53.0.3. Judging by the lack of activity it makes me worried that fewer and fewer people are interested in Pentadactyl development :(

I seems that @dkearns is the one that usually merges the PRs, but he/she has no public activity in GitHub since 2017-03-08.

Edit: I don't think there is lack of interest in Pentadactyl, @ardrabczyk. From the little I understand about it, it is just that there isn't much hope for it after Firefox 57 remove support for "legacy plugins".

@rbasso: Yeah, I know that and it makes me very worried. I just can't imagine using Firefox with a mouse without pentadactyl. There is a discussion going on somewhere here about pentadactyl future but the general conclusion is that simply there will be no pentadactyl for future Firefox. One can consider switching to Palemoon or keep using old versions of Firefox but it's not a long-term solution.

It doesn't look good.
