Firefox extension not available anymore #83

Closed jonathan-avecilla closed 1 year ago

The link https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/overleaf-textarea/ returns that either the developer or Mozilla removed it. It is still available in Chrome, though.

It'll be greatly appreciated if you re-upload it to the Firefox add-on page.

Same here, are there plans to resubmit it?

Or could you / someone outline the build process for lay-people for firefox? https://github.com/robindijkhof/overleaf-textarea#building

Thanks!

Not really. I believe Overleaf has a new editor which supports Grammarly. Therefore, I think there is no more need for this plugin. Let me know if I am wrong.

Thanks for the quick reply! For commercial overleaf, this is true via the new editor. You can actually licence a self-hosted version off them, with somewhat limited functionality, which still has the old editor and does not support Grammarly out of the box.

But, e.g., it allows you to collaborate with multiple colleagues for "free", after your organisation licenced it once. And because it's self hosted on your own server... data protection ... and so on.

But I understand that it's only a niche thing. Currently I am copying my text from the hosted version to the commercial overleaf for Grammarly and then back, so other people can collaborate. Alternatively, I could run chrome for that probably, where the plugin is still in store.

thanks!

I added instructions to the readme how to install in FF.
