Adapt to Firefox Quantum? #144

Open TurnOffNOD opened 6 years ago

TurnOffNOD commented 6 years ago

Firefox Quantum has changed a lot and can't compatible with old plugins. Plugin downthemall is under development to adapt to Firefox Quantum. Will anticontainer adapt to new Firefox?

Right now, the likelihood is somewhat low. We will have to see how well the development of DownThemAll! Lite progresses. There are still enough stones in the way to make that work properly, and an AntiContainer would only come when that path is clear enough to allow looking at something like this again. Right now, we’ll just have to see what the time brings and how well WebExtensions will develop to give us all a bit more power back when creating extensions.

Just wondering if this will be made for Quantum now that DownThemAll is officially available for Quantum. I'm not looking for anything other then if it's being worked on, and I realize that if it's being worked on, it doesn't mean that it will come out.

Well, once we need to get on a really stable footing with DownThemAll! itself first. And implement an API in it that AntiContainer can use. But it becomes more stable every day. Then I need to actually find the time to code it, while still being able to pay my bills ;)

That's understandable. Great to know it's being looked into. Thanks.

I have cobbled together a pretty basic version of Anticontainer for Firefox Quantum for my own personal use.

It works with Redirectors and Resolvers (but not Sandboxes), images and links (but not selections), imports original AntiContainer plugins (and adds HTTPS support), supports some of the optional properties, and has a basic Plugin editor.

Since there's no DownthemAll API yet it uses the standard Firefox Download Manager (so there's probably a lot of duplication with existing DownthemAll code), and I'm not experienced with Firefox Extension writing or Asynchronous Javascript so it's not exactly release quality!

Is anyone interested in collaborating on this with me, or taking it over and making it good enough to release?
