Description
Environment
Firefox 55 marks ABP addon as "Legacy". This is due to an update coming in November that will change the addon framework.
More information here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-add-technology-modernizing?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
How to reproduce
- Ensure ABP is installed and browser version is FF 55.0
- Navigate to about:addons
- Notice the "Legacy" label shown on ABP
Clicking the Legacy tag takes you to the link above for an explanation.
Observed behaviour
Legacy tag shown on ABP - Soon the framework will be changing which will disable the non-compatible addons. Note: The change seems to have already hit FF Nightly which is likely the cause of issue #5398
Expected behaviour
ABP should be updated so it can be supported by Firefox 57+ with the new framework

Mass-closing all bugs in Adblock Plus for Firefox module, the codebase of Adblock Plus 3.0 belongs into Platform and User-Interface modules. Old bugs are unlikely to still apply.
