Description

The main instance of Firefox Send hosted by Mozilla is being shut down, and the repository is archived. Therefore the official link shall be removed, and a warning about the project being discontinued (thus unexpected security risk can occur if users seeing it still decided to host it themselves) should be add until (probably) some community member decided to take over/make a fork and take on development of this project.
(Or probably we shall just remove the software? It doesn't sounds like newbies will just went on to host a firefox send instance, anyway.)

Why I am making the suggestion

Project being discontinued raises very serious concerns, obviously.

My connection with the software

Just a (once) regular Firefox Send user.

I will keep the issue up-to-date if something I have said changes or I remember a connection with the software.
