In the Firefox add-ons UI (tools menu > add-ons), the aXe add-on is described as "Accessibility testing in Chrome Developer Tools" - that's the wrong browser!

This string doesn't appear in either the dequelabs/axe-firefox-devtools, dequelabs/axe-core repos, so I went digging in my Firefox profile.

The phrase appears in my profile at ~/.mozilla/f8va3m9j.default/extensions.json. That's a big catalogue of all installed firefox extensions. The string is found in a defaultLocale subsection:

{
      "id": "@axe-firefox-devtools",
      "location": "app-profile",
      "version": "3.2.1",
      "type": "webextension",
      // ...
      "defaultLocale": {
        "name": "aXe",
        "description": "Accessibility testing in Chrome Developer Tools",
         // ...
      },
     // ...
)

Tracking down the @axe-firefox-devtools.xpi archive, the reference to Chrome appears in 2 places:

  1. In the extension's manifest.json:
    {
    "name": "aXe",
    "manifest_version": 2,
    "description": "Accessibility testing in Chrome Developer Tools",
  2. In axe-adapter.js, line 41651, in a module somehow related to React. The BitBucket repo mentioned here appears to be private:
    module.exports={
    "name": "axe-devtools-react",
    "version": "3.2.1",
    "description": "Accessibility testing in Chrome Developer Tools, using axe-core",
    "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://bitbucket.org/dmusser/axe-devtools-react.git"
    },

Aha, just seen #55 Where's the code for the firefox add-on nowadays?

@fuzzbomb We won't be open sourcing the rebuild. It has some code in it that we can't release.

This should be fixed with the latest version, but we'll know for sure when the addon is approved by Mozilla's review team.
