Public bug reported:

The old webkitgtk api is no longer being developed and it likely has
security issues fixed in the new webkit2gtk. From what I can tell, gufw
is the last thing keeping the old webkitgtk on Ubuntu MATE's yakkety
image.

webkitgtk-security-updates/

I'm attaching a patch to convert gufw to WebKit2. I just made up the
arguments for context_menu_cb; it needed 5 of them...

docs/WebKit2-4.0/classes/WebView.html#WebKit2.WebView.signals.context_menu

You'll also want to change gir1.2-webkit-3.0 to gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 in
your debian/control.
