The minimum compatible version of Firefox has been lowered from 60.0 to 56.2. It was originally set to 60.0 because that is Firefox ESR, which currently the minimum Firefox version with security updates. However Waterfox is based upon Firefox 56.0, and has backported security fixes from the ESR release.

This change in minimum version requires no additional transpiling, and doesn't affect any browser APIs we use.

It does introduce one additional warning in the addon-linter about Firefox for Android 56 lacking support for browser action popups. However there is no version 56.2 of Firefox for Android, so the
minimum version remains 57 in practice (which does support browser action popups).
