chrome.extension.sendRequest [1] and chrome.extension.onRequest [2]
have been deprecated and replaced by chrome.runtime.sendMessage and
chrome.runtime.onMessage respectively. This change updates the use of
these functions.
A side effect of this change is partial Firefox compatibility. With
these changes and an applications [3] object added to manifest.json,
the extension appears functional in Firefox. There are visual issues
when running in Firefox that should be addressed with CSS before
packaging and releasing as a Firefox addon.
