WebExtension version (compatibility with Firefox 57+) #31

Open MOFTAD opened 7 years ago

MOFTAD commented 7 years ago

Hello, are there any plans to develop a WebExtension version of this add-on in anticipation of Mozilla's upcoming changes in Firefox 57? Do WebExtensions even grant the functionality required for Right Links to work?

Thank you for reading.

Infocatcher commented 7 years ago

I's possible to port only page-related part: as I understand, will be no ability to handle clicks on interface things like bookmarks. For now I even not sure about future of Firefox without many features, that cannot be ported due to limitations of new browser API. :(

MOFTAD commented 7 years ago

Oh, I see. That's unfortunate, but better than nothing. Do you personally plan on porting the page-related functionality of the add-on, or would it be too difficult/time consuming?

Gitoffthelawn commented 7 years ago

I can't imagine using Firefox without being able to right-click to open a link in a new tab.

Gitoffthelawn commented 6 years ago

@Infocatcher Do you think you can update to use WebExtensions API for page-related functions?

Infocatcher commented 6 years ago

This looks doable (but only to open links from page), the deal is only about free time to play with new APIs...

Gitoffthelawn commented 6 years ago

Sounds great! I just waved my magic wand, and now you have all the free time in the world! :)

Another vote for WebEx. Just the page-related function is good enough, that's indispensable!!

Gitoffthelawn commented 6 years ago

Any time available for working on a WebExtensions version? This is such an essential extension.

@Gitoffthelawn It's a work in progress: https://github.com/Infocatcher/Right_Links_WE

@Keith94 Thanks!

Signed beta version: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/right-links/versions/0.5b1 Note: changed ID of extension (now the same as old Right Links), so previous WE version should be uninstalled.

Infocatcher commented 6 years ago

Hmmm... the link to the new Beta version is just showing version 0.4.1 (and older) as of now.

Strange, I see new version even if I logged-out. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/770195/right_links-0.5b1-an+fx.xpi

My sincere apologies. It turns out the issue with not seeing the beta version was an over-aggressive regex filter on my end. I've fixed the issue, and the beta versions show up just fine. Again, you have my apologies.

Oh, nice to see, that issue was fixed.

Released on AMO: Right Links WE 0.5b7 https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/right-links/versions/ https://github.com/Infocatcher/Right_Links_WE/releases/tag/0.5b7

Thank you so much!

Hi Infocatcher,

The latest version seems faulty. It opens 2 similar tabs at once.
