I'm sorry, but FEBE cannot be written for Quantum. The APIs simply do not exist and most likely will never be written. FEBE requires access to a user's browser data that is against WebExtensions philosophy (usernames, passwords, bookmarks, etc.) WebExtensions won't even allow for reading/writing to a user's filesystem, so even if I could read the data, the backups could not be stored anywhere.
FEBE will only work on pre-Quantum Firefox, Pale Moon, and other browsers that still support XUL/XPCOM.
BTW, this thread is actually about porting Paste Email Plus and Paste Email (Original) to Quantum, which can be done and am in the process of completing.
