Port to Pale Moon/Basilisk? #1

This would be amazing to have as an extension to the Mozilla-based browsers, also. ☺

Some info re: Pale Moon compatibility: Extensions & Pale Moon

Thanks for the input, @TPS!

I actually did initially plan on porting this to Firefox, I just don't know when I'll have the free time to do it. If I'm being 100% honest, I'm typically only using Chrome, so I don't have a ton of motivation to get it ported.

Having said that, I did try to setup the repo in such a way that it would be easier to port to other browsers. If you're interested in helping, we'd basically just need to build a "shell" for Firefox in the shells folder, and then update the build to cut a separate package for Firefox. The shells primary purpose is to detect a GitHub page, and inject the content script (which should already work cross-browser).

I'm very open to PRs :)

Firefox now supports Web Extensions. It should not be hard to port extension because it would probably only require some little fixes and publishing to Firefox Addons.

Sadly, PaleMoon/Basilisk will never support WebExtensions, so I'm hoping for a proper port.
