Installing the extension on firefox is quite sucky- there has to be a better way!

iPhoenix: oh nice I got the sax rewrite to work on firefox fghsgh: \o/ iPhoenix: I hate firefox's browser extension system iPhoenix: like, with chrome stuff just works? iPhoenix: firefox is the reason I have to write code like this const runtime = chrome === undefined ? (browser === undefined ? undefined : browser.extension) : chrome.runtime; iPhoenix: anyways, because firefox is dumb, you can't actually permanently load that even if you try really hard to iPhoenix: I have to have firefox review my code to make sure it's up to their standards, and then you are allowed to install it (even if I don't share it publicly) fghsgh: well it's better than letting anyone into their extension store if they want iPhoenix: yes, but I have to do this even if I don't want to go into their extension store iPhoenix: that's what's infuriating to me iPhoenix: protecting their extension store is extremely sensible, and also something I would do fghsgh: well waterfox doesn't need it in any case iPhoenix: :D iPhoenix: looks like firefox doesn't load content scripts as well as chrome either iPhoenix: (causing a major distracting layout shift after the page loads)

iPhoenix: even though all of the code I write in the extension itself will have good compatibility, I don't plan to add firefox support at this time because of the reasons previously outlined :)

I have to have firefox review my code to make sure it's up to their standards, and then you are allowed to install it (even if I don't share it publicly)

Not too big of a deal. I've already done this in the past and had no issues. Usually it's an automatic process: image

I guess it's up so someone else to port it then?

I don't see you using chrome or runtime in your code?
