[Firefox] Use Embedded Extension to migrate data for Webextension #49

Open darthkrallt opened 8 years ago

Try out the solution here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Embedded_WebExtensions to see if it works for data migration for the webextensions upgrade.

This feature not available until FF version 51, cannot do until that's out.

AAARGHHHHH THIS IS URGENT NOW. Impending doom.

Steps for working on it:

  1. Download Firefox DEVELOPER version 56.0 from the archives

  2. Set up aliases:

    alias jpm="~/AO3rdr/node_modules/jpm/bin/jpm"
alias firefox="~/lib/firefox/firefox"

  3. Enable install of unsigned addons (set xpinstall.signatures.required to False in about:config)

  4. Install old version of add-on (ao3rdr-jpm.xpi) and add some bookmarks

  5. Remove old version

  6. Install new "wip" version built with "build-firefox-jpm.sh"

Note that the "webextension" folder will have the "new stuff" and the rest of the add-on is still legacy.
