Would it be possible to port this to Firefox? #130

@refparo Yes, it is likely possible but would require some adaptations to WebExtension APIs beyond the deprecated functions like you mentioned in #102. Any further efforts to identify these incompatibilities would be appreciated.

For a bit more completeness, there were initial efforts to do exactly this back when Firefox still used XULs for add-ons, see https://github.com/machawk1/ffwarcreate . WARCreate, the Chrome extension, predates Firefox's move to WebExtensions.

Thank you for describe this, but looks like that project didn't released some installable plugin files? 🥹

@LaoshuBaby Indeed, more effort would be needed to first port the codebase to use WebExtensions instead of the chrome.* API. In that same effort, we might also push to use Manifest v3 (as Chrome will soon be deprecating v2 extensions). I am uncertain on where Mozilla stands on forcing MV3 on Firefox add-ons.
