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. [1]: as explained on http://fasezero.com/addons/
