Installation

1. Make sure you have an iCloud account with safari syncing turned on:

2. Build and install the native helper app:

cd app
make build
make install

This will build the helper app and push a "native messaging" manifest to firefox so it knows how to run our helper.

3. Install the Firefox add-on, located in ./add-on/synctabs-1.0.1-fx.xpi (this is a pre-signed copy of the add-on)

Or you can package the add-on yourself, using

cd add-on
zip -r -FS ./syncTabs.xpi * --exclude '*.git*' '*.xpi'

That will create an unsigned add-on. Firefox will refuse to install it until you sign it. It's a very annoying (but short) process you can read about here

4. Use firefox normally. Tabs will start to appear on your MobileSafari tabs overview screen!
