Update Firefox installation instructions? #18

Closed markerikson closed 6 years ago

markerikson commented 6 years ago

The Firefox installation instructions currently say:

Make sure your version of Firefox supports web extensions. The installation is the same as Manual installation of Chrome.

The Chrome instructions, in turn, say:

Go to release page, find chrome.zip file, download and unpack it.

I'm currently running Firefox 57. I've tried unzipping the chrome.zip file. I then went to Firefox's Addons Manager screen and selected "Install Addon from File". If I select the chrome.zip file directly, or select the unpacked manifest.json file, Firefox says "This addon could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt". I also tried copying the unpacked folder to my profile's extensions folder and restarting Firefox, with no success.

I'd appreciate updated instructions for installing the addon in Firefox.

@markerikson I find this link:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Temporary_Installation_in_Firefox

It seems that you should go to about:debugging instead of about:addons. I'll update README for Firefox installation, thanks!

Thanks. That seems to have gotten it to load and seem to work, although about:debugging does show this warning:

Reading manifest: Error processing options_page: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest.

This is a legacy field for old version Chrome, see #13
