Question: Are there plans to add a Firefox version of the extension?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

No not necessarily a problem, just that I can't install the Letra extension in Firefox.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if the build process built both a Chrome version of the extension as well as a Firefox version.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have considered attempting to one-off research, build, and install the Firefox extension on my own, but I believe this would not help any other Firefox users. I also wanted to ask first to see if anyone else has investigated building a Firefox version so I do not duplicate any work that has already been done.

Additional context

Here is a page on building a cross-browser extension: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Build_a_cross_browser_extension

Thanks for opening the issue @jish! I agree that we should have a cross-browser extension but as far as I know, we're not into Firefox extension as of now.

@jayehernandez currently there is no plan for Firefox extension development right?

[jayehernandez]

Yup, currently there’s no plan for developing a Firefox extension. But I think this was also discussed before with @Kvaibhav01 and it is something I’m open too! (Just don’t have the time to research now due to lack of time. 😅) This would open up the extension to more users.

@jish no one has investigated on working on the Firefox extension yet — would you like to start?

[AlexxMart]

I would like to give a hand and make this work on Firefox

Good day @jayehernandez i submitted a pull request #534 for this issue. I hope I was able to help ☺️

Hi guys! Has this been approved by the Firefox team yet? :smile:

Hey @gugacavalieri! (and everyone else on here) They disabled the extension as there were differences in the main.js file when they tried to compile it on their end. When I checked their main.js file with mine, the changes were just the different variables used when compiling Vue.js code. They asked me if I could try hardcoding these variables but that was done by the compiler so I'm not really sure if there's a way to that?

I did this before the holiday season started last year, and it was automatically rejected after I asked if there was any other way to prove that the code is the same with their compiled version.

For reference, here's a sample of their main.js file

function Be(t,e){return(t.__esModule||it&&"Module"===t[Symbol.toStringTag])&&(t=t.default),s(t)?e.extend(t):t}function ze(t){return t.isComment&&t.asyncFactory}function Ue(t){if(Array.isArray(t))for(var e=0;e<t.length;e++){var a=t[e];if(o(a)&&(o(a.componentOptions)||ze(a)))return a}}function Ve(t,e){qe.$on(t,e)}function He(t,e){qe.$off(t,e)}function Ge(t,e){var a=qe;return function n(){var o=e.apply(null,arguments);null!==o&&a.$off(t,n)}}f

And here's my main.js

function Be(t,e){return(t.__esModule||it&&"Module"===t[Symbol.toStringTag])&&(t=t.default),s(t)?e.extend(t):t}function Ue(t){return t.isComment&&t.asyncFactory}function Ve(t){if(Array.isArray(t))for(var e=0;e<t.length;e++){var a=t[e];if(o(a)&&(o(a.componentOptions)||Ue(a)))return a}}function ze(t,e){qe.$on(t,e)}function He(t,e){qe.$off(t,e)}function Ge(t,e){var a=qe;return function n(){var o=e.apply(null,arguments);null!==o&&a.$off(t,n)}}

So for the code above, their version had function Ue(t) while mine had function Ve(t). The whole file (400k characters) has the same problems as this piece of code. Does anyone know if this is a compiler problem? I haven't had this issue when submitting to Chrome's store.
