Firefox support

Open bwat47 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

It would be great if there was a firefox version of this addon.

Since fx 57 supports webextensions, I tried installing it with chrome store foxified but it fails AMO validation due to the extension toolbar icon not being square

FWIW, I extracted the xpi file, replaced the mpv logo image with a square image and I was then able to get the addon installed via chrome store foxified and the addon seems to work perfectly in firefox

Hello, how did you make the extension persistent ? I struggle with it

I will consider this, but unlike Firefox, Chrome's extensions don't allow you to spawn other processes for obvious security reasons, so you need to have some dumb little server like this to spawn them for you. If you're using Firefox I would recommend using another extension like https://github.com/antoniy/mpv-youtube-dl-binding that doesn't need a server to start mpv. =]
