QuickPasswords only partially working with PM x64

PM 25.2.1 x64, QuickPasswords 3.5 (also present in 3.3 and 3.4; 3.2.1 was even worse)

The addon shows several context menu items when the user clicks on a username or password field on any webpage. The first is to retrieve the login info; if selected, this option brings up a dialog window of saved user/pass combinations that match the URL. It has more functionality beyond that (it's a great addon), but I never get to that point in PM.

3.2.1 didn't seem to work at all for me. Later versions of the addons have the context menu working well, but the URL of the current page is apparently never passed to the addon. Instead of the URL of the page appearing automatically in the search bar of the addon dialog, it simply says "undefined." I can cut and paste the URL into the addon dialog or type it in, but it's supposed to do it by itself.

As a first step, the extension needs to add bindToUntrustedContent="true" to any bindings to content (which are obviously used to insert extension features into page content). This would be the reason why the context menu wouldn't work at all.
Please see release notes/announcements to that effect.

"undefined" may be a type mismatch or variable change that was required for later Firefox that the dev will need to look at for Pale Moon support.
