Convert to WebExtension? #30

Open theres-waldo opened 7 years ago

Mozilla recently announced that starting in Firefox 57, Firefox will no longer support addons that are not WebExtensions.

Is it possible to convert facepaste to be a WebExtension, so it can continue working in Firefox 57 and beyond?

If would be great if, at least, this addon could work now...

I wish this did work. I couldn't keep up with the changes FB was making and FF was making. Plus facepaste was loading the whole page in a browser object in the background and was eating memory on larger albums (like Mobile Uploads) so it really needed a much bigger re-thinking. It might be possible to change it to a GreaseMonkey script if someone were ambitious enough.
