[CLOSED] Run as Firefox extension (add-on) #801

Would be nice to have an alternative to running within the brackets-app (aka chromium embedded) webshell.

Looking at the extensions implemented in: https://github.com/adobe/brackets-app/blob/master/src/win/cefclient/brackets_extensions.cpp

it seems its mostly file system access which firefox extensions (running with chrome js priviledge) have access to via the XPCOM File I/O classes as documented here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Code_snippets/File_I%2f%2fO even down to providing a File chooser UI widget.

Evolus Pencil (http://pencil.evolus.vn/en-US/Home.aspx) is a nice example of how this approach can be taken to build a native editor application (in this case diagram editor) with native filesystem access as a FF add-on.

I guess the other job would be to fix an webkit-prefix-isms in the css (less) styles, though having a very quick look at least in some places there are moz prefixes as well so perhaps brackets is already being tested within firefox as well?
