Not downloading Overdrive or web pages; fails silently #16

Firefox 106.0.1 on Ubuntu - As of a few days ago (I think possibly the latest Firefox update) epub-creator no longer downloads anything, whether it's just a plain webpage or a book on Overdrive. I click the button and nothing visibly changes. No activity in the debugging console or Firefox's network log.

Thanks for reporting, I hadn't noticed yet!

Firefox just not started to support extensions whose background process don't run permanently. Enabling that broke this extension (no one was listening to clicks on the button). It now opts out of that new feature.

Making this extension compatible with non-persistent background pages should be quite possible, but I'd have to update a number of other things first. Not sure if/when I'll get to that.
