Remarks:

• It seems like 0.0.5 will be released because it looks stable, but we have some remaining changes before the final release.

• The Firefox version which we're uploading the binary is old and cannot be uploaded until we upgrade, so you have to build from source to use, or use archive. Instructions right here.
