Unfortunately this is not working as expected.
In addition to #25659, during testing I am seeing https-everywhere
successfully load, but then it doesn't rewrite any URLs. I also tested
using an older version of Orfox (based on 52.2.0), and it bundles https-
everywhere 5.2.20 (tagged on 05 Jul, 2017). This combination of https-
everywhere+Orfox works as expected, and the URLs are rewritten. If I leave
Orfox open for some time, https-everywhere automatically updates to
version 2018.4.11 (webextension). After restarting the app, I see the add-
on loads, but it doesn't perform any URL rewrites. I see some messages in
the log about an error processing the add-on's manifest, but it seems like
the extension is loaded successfully.

I see these same messages when I bundle https-everywhere 2018.03.13.
Next, I'll try bundling https-e 5.2.20 with the newest Orfox version,
because I'm curious if that reliably loads and if it rewrites URLs. If we
can't get https-everywhere loading or working reliably, I'd rather remove
it from Orfox in the next release. I don't want to give the false
impression https-everywhere is loaded and working - when it isn't working
in reality.
