Convert Firefox add-on to use the Chrome WebExtension
See original GitHub issueHere’s a tracking issue to pull in all the related pieces needed to make the current WebExtension work within Firefox. Firefox 57 (coming in November) will be removing support for the add-on SDK and should have full support for all the WebExtension APIs used here.
-
chrome.extension.onConnect
used here, needs to be updated to use runtime.onConnect -
chrome.extension.onMessage
used here needs to be updated to use runtime.onMessage -
chrome.extension.sendMessage
used a lot in content-script.js needs to be updated to use runtime.sendMessage
I’ll look through the rest of the errors and keep updating this list as I go.
