notify users about discontinuation
Quicksaver abandoned his more complex extensions because they rely
heavily on an API which Mozilla will deprecate without properly
replacing features necessary for the Add-Ons to work. [1]
Users upgrading should be prepared for the package to stop working as
announced. Users trying to first install even after the critical Firefox
version are also notified unconditionally.
