I'm not currently set up to be able to build Quicksilver/plugins on my 
machine, but I've had a look through the code in the linked GitHub issue. 
The SQL queries for extracting history and bookmarks from the 
'places.sqlite' file still work for me when running them manually against 
my local Firefox profile (I've tried on two different machines: one on 
60.0.2, the other on 61.0.1). So at least in terms of the query/schema 
level, there's no reason this shouldn't still work with current versions of 
Firefox.

The other bit of that code for looking at the 'sessionstore' files will be 
less successful; as far as I can tell, the files it looks at are no longer 
used by 'Quantum'-based versions of Firefox, though they will be still 
lying around in the profile folder if you've used it with a previous 
version. (The newer sessionstore files use a compressed JSON format rather 
than JavaScript per se, but apart from needing to decompress, it doesn't 
look like this would otherwise be substantially different from what the 
plugin code is doing at the moment.)

I'll put a comment on the GitHub issue with this information, so it's there 
for future reference too. Hopefully I'll get a chance at some point to set 
up the necessary things on my machine to be able to build the plug-in, at 
which point I might be able to debug further (though I haven't really done 
any Objective-C development, so I don't have particularly strong skills in 
that area… :-)).
