Recently firefox changed its policy for addons. So after the upcoming version 57.0 of firefox, Some addons with "legacy" tags, will not work with firefox anymore.

And "multiple-highlighter" is now tagged as legacy.

Could u please update its code to get it compatible with firefox again?

I haven't decided it yet but most probably I'll switch from an add-on sdk based extension to a restartless bootstrapped one, with this i hope to improve performance, reliability and open the options to new features and improvements ( the addon sdk is not that fast and there's a bug on storage API that is not going to be fixed now that it's deprecated).

This means that multiple highlighter will stop working on firefox 57 and newer.

The extension may be ported to web-extensions depending on their progress on APIs and policies.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
