Not compatible with Electrolysis #16

Hello, this is certainly not an issue right now, but it could become when Electrolysis is turned on on the stable branch of FF. Could you please be able to make Enter Selects compatible with e10? Thank you very much for this simple but very useful addon.

Looks unlikely this add-on will be updated as Firefox 57 will only support WebExtensions. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/02/16/the-road-to-firefox-57-compatibility-milestones/

Is there any chance that you will be able to convert this into a WebExtension in the future? I've been testing Nightly and I really appreciate the speed improvements and polish in FF57. However, this addon has been broken for a few weeks now on FF57 and I never realized how much of a timesaver it was until it stopped working.

I took a quick look at WebExtension APIs, and it doesn't seem likely there will be something to change the selected index of the location bar suggestions. The closest thing was handling the user typing stuff in the location bar after having triggered the specific add-on via keyword.

As a workaround, I've created bookmarks with a single letter keyword that I would have typed to go to the 1st result. But indeed, it's not as nice for all the other pages that you might want to go to from your own history.
