[IDEA] Possibly enable firefox support. #173

Open Merith-TK opened 4 years ago

Merith-TK commented 4 years ago

so in firefox, you can go to about:config and change the value of browser.ssb.enabled to true

and then when you run firefox with the -ssb flag, it opens in an SiteSpecificBrowser. or an "app window" Image is an example of it connecting to my code-server instance. I ran D:\PortableApps\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe --ssb https://code.example.com image

It is a viable way, all that is needed is making it automatically set this setting to true

Very neat.

We could add this to our docs, but I'm not sure what kind of support we could integrate into code-server. What are ya thinkin?

Edit: Oops thought this was code-server for a sec ☕.

Yeah we should definitely add this 😆

Merith-TK commented 4 years ago

lol yeah, the problem is that this has to be enabled in the firefox profile prefs.js working on a tool that does this automatically so that we can call a function and have it do it automatically

EDIT: Otherwise, if we dont enable it. it just opens a firefox window without any thing, as if you run firefox on its own

Another issue (specifically for sshcode) is that Firefox disallows http://localhost/ for SSB and requires HTTPS.
