I did use pnpm to compile but that worked just fine for Chromium:

$ git checkout chromium
$ pnpm install
$ pnpm install readable-stream buffer
$ pnpm run build

For firefox:

$ git checkout firefox
$ pnpm install
$ pnpm install readable-stream buffer
$ pnpm run build

succeeded, too but I couldn't find how to load it in firefox.

You must open the about:debugging page on Firefox.

Sorry, I fail to find how to load the extension from there. All I can find are things that expect an xpi or a zip file. Nothing allows me to load a folder and I assume I have to load the extension/ folder like with Chrome, right?

Ok, that's ... weird. The "click any file" part was what I had not considered after having found the "Load Temporary Add-on". Now it works for me.

I think this should be mentioned in the Readme.md as it was a considerate point of friction when I was about to get tinkering with this repo.

Please open a pull request for that.

I find it very painful to maintain two versions of the same extension just because Chrome has decided to force Manifest v3, and because of that the Firefox version is abandoned.
