Please, implement Quantum!!!

TheSquirrelMafia commented 6 years ago

Yes please! This is my favorite add-on 'cause it comes in handy at work. (^_^ )

Yes, this is a must-have addon, that is really missing from Firefox 57+. It would be a great help if you could update it as a Webextension.

On the contrary, if the dev's inbox gets spammed with enough +1s, maybe @nmaier will update the addon just to restore sanity to their inbox ;)

@qwertychouskie Lol true, but not without spamming my inbox (and 10 other participants' inboxes) at the same time

So I was looking into this a little (since I really miss mintrayr) and I have some doubts as to if it is possible to update the extension. Specifically, lookng at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Porting_a_legacy_Firefox_add-on and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Comparison_with_XUL_XPCOM_extensions since webextensions give less (by design) control over the UI than XUL extensions did.

I'm not saying it is impossible (I haven't spent too much time on this), but there might be some serious rethinking needed.

Has anyone (@nmaier maybe) looked at the new API in any detail and have any ideas? I'm willing to help if there is a clear path forward, but I'm not sure what (if anything) that path is at the moment.
