Hi Chris! I'm still seeing this issue (in latest Firefox Nightly), BTW.
I'm also noticing that "about:startpage" (the default homepage imposed
by the extension) does not load in affected versions, possibly due to
this same issue.

Also: there's one more step that you need to perform before you can test
this in Nightly now: you have to set the about:config pref "extensions
.allow-non-mpc-extensions" to "true".  Otherwise, the Ubuntu
Modifications extension will get auto-disabled, as described in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1364978

Title:
  Ubufox is broken in Firefox Nightly, due to using no-longer-supported
  "for each" syntax.  Error console now shows "SyntaxError: missing (
  after for  UpdateNotifier.js:217:8"

Status in ubufox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Firefox Nightly (53) no longer supports the non-standard "for each"
  looping construct, as of
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1293305

  Unfortunately, ubufox uses this construct, which causes problems as shown in 
the error console at startup:
  > SyntaxError: missing ( after for     UpdateNotifier.js:217:8
  > SyntaxError: missing ( after for     utils.jsm:217:8

  
  Fortunately, it's easy to fix! Just replace code like this...
  > for each (let k in [...])
  ...with code like this:
  > for (let k of [...])

  Note: I also filed this in Mozilla's bug-tracker (under Tech Evangelism | 
Add-ons) here:
