Firefox extention

[parabolabam]

Greetings, guys! First of all, thanks for an amazing product that works like a charm in chromium browsers!

I have a little question though regarding creating an inspector extension for a firefox-based (Gecko engine) extension?

That would be much appreciated to have an answer about that.

Thanks @parabolabam - I'm not entirely clear on the question. Is this about being able to run the extension in Firefox or some other browser?

Hey @parabolabam, the *.xpi files over in Releases are Firefox builds that should work. You won't get automatic updates, though you can subscribe to release notifications and Github will tell you when new versions are released so you can manually update.

The main technical blocker to an official release on the Mozilla store is that, last I looked, Firefox doesn't allow all the same webextension APIs in the DevTools context that Chromium-based browsers do. At the moment this mainly impacts:

• Custom Iglu registries don't work correctly because we can't request permission to connect to them (I have an idea for a workaround to this but haven't had time to test if it will work)
• The event counter in the badge icon doesn't work

We don't do full testing in Firefox but are happy to fix any issues you encounter if you report them here. Firefox is my primary browser and how I use the extension so I try to make sure it mostly works OK.

Let us know how you go!
