This extension works well in Firefox. Please port it. It takes 3 minutes.

Hi,

I ported this extension to Firefox. It's quite simple here is some info on how to do it yourself.

This started off as a question on /r/firefox.

Please do an official port to Firefox and upload it to AMO.

The only thing stopping me from supporting Firefox is that I would want to fully support it, which includes regular testing the way I do for Chrome. I will seriously consider this, but I don't want to leave Firefox users high and dry because I pushed out changes that I never even glanced at in Firefox.

Make it and post it as a "Beta" in AMO and see if people use it and like it. Post a clear message that a Firefox maintainers is needed. It will increase your addon's popularity but you will not invest any time in it.

I noticed that on /r/firefox there are a lot of people migrating from Chrome to Firefox and they are looking for alternatives to extensions that they love in Chrome. As you can see in the reddit post that started it all the user of Deluminate is currently using mode night reader or Dark Background and Light Text

I agree with @abstiles: a port needs dedication. I would love to have Deluminate in Firefox, but I myself am not ready to dedicate the amount of time it would need to work properly on all OSes, all versions, all configurations, resolve conflicts with other extensions, keep it up to date, and reply to user issues.

As an example, I just tested @andreicristianpetcu's XPI on my setup (latest FF on Linux, with a dark system theme) and this is the result: no icon, no popup, and Shift+F11 doesn't work!

I will be very thankful to anybody who forks this repo, ports it to Firefox, and does all the above work. Honestly, there could be tears.

@abstiles BTW, it kind of helps that Firefox and Edge are looking to support the WebExtension spec, mostly compatible with Chrome, and the relevant incompatibilities are easily polyfilled in Chrome.

So if you migrated to using that polyfill in Chrome, it should be almost trivial to port to both Firefox and Edge.

Is there any chance that there's a completely unsupported, 'here's whatever you want to do with it' version available? I tried @andreicristianpetcu's method but it no longer works. This is a great tool because it's way smarter than most other invert tools in that it keeps the images intact, I don't think it has any Firefox equivalent (or any equivalent, in any browser). I'm happy to be a beta tester and/or debugger as needed, if you're interested. Thanks for making this extension, this is so, so useful.

There are still some people out there hoping for a port. I've tested all available extensions for quantum and the best one is Night Eye who makes money out of it. All other extensions are not as good as Deluminate. Just to say that it's a great extension that i'd like to see it on Firefox.

Just a heads up, Chrome Store Foxified allows installing Chrome extensions on Firefox and Deluminate works decently. For some reason I had to leave Kill backgrounds checked by default.
