Fantastic extension. Thank you so much! Sadly Firefox does not auto-update as extension has not been approved (yet). As it's a security thing I'd rather have the latest and I keep forgetting to check.

Per GitHub Extension Installer : "extension files are placed in the root of the repo. If that is the case (ie, a install.rdf file is found there), a new button will be added in the right-bottom side of the page as shown on the screenshot."

Looks like this extension requires to have extension code directly in root folder of repository (aka everything that is inside ext/ will need to be put in root of repository), additionally binary parts used to talk to usb device (that are compiled for different platforms from content of c_src) aren't part of this repository, so in current version it wouldn't be possible to generate xpi from content from this repo by just zipping all files from it.

I will try to deploy server serving auto-update information for this extension, at least until this get accepted by AMO.

Auto-updates are now live, but you would probably need to install xpi from https://github.com/prefiks/u2f4moz/releases/download/v0.0.6/u2f-0.0.6-github.xpi (this version has informations pointing to update url).

Oh that's great, thank you! Very speedy response too (unlike mine, sorry!).

Testing! Testing!

All good. No problems experienced, and auto-updates.
