I have been unable to install the new addon on the new firefox .

I get the following image -

On firefox I get this on the console -

I dunno if it has to do firefox or due to installation or something else -

Another thing to note, while building requestpolicy I got the following error messages on the console -

~/games/requestpolicy$ make

FWIW, I am using npm 5.8.0 which my distribution provides while upstream is at 6.4.1

Also FWIW, xp install signatures option was toggled to false before trying to install the new version -

I tried even a new test profile and did the changes in about:config but came with the same error.

P.S. - Browser console gives me the following errors -

You made a detailed report, that's good! Still, you're reporting a known mayor issue. I'm sorry about this, but RPC currently only supports SeaMonkey and PaleMoon. Firefox 57+ noy yet. The issue is #704.

I am guessing the same issue plagues the new 1.0.beta14.1.2485.r6d27d1e5.pre.xpi version as well.

FWIW, the sha1sum of the newly built extension is -

$ sha1sum 1.0.beta14.1.2485.r6d27d1e5.pre.xpi
