Clarify MV3-in-Firefox support in README #61

Closed Vinnl closed 1 year ago

Vinnl commented 1 year ago

It wasn't entirely clear to me from the README whether MV3 in Firefox is supported. Trying it out it seems like no? Since the serve:firefox script did not pass --firefox-preview mv3 to web-ext, the manifest.ts lists a service_worker (not yet supported by Firefox), and even after fixing those two issues, I get "Error: Extension is invalid".

To set expectations, it would be nice if the README had an indication of the current status of support for MV3 in Firefox :)

Good point! Firefox didn’t have any manifest V3 support at the time, but I do understand they have some experimental support now. I haven’t looked into it much, but can definitely note that it’s not usable in the developer preview at the moment and see what’s required for it to work.

Added a "Firefox Experimental Manifest V3" example to the readme that explains how to configure the plugin to work with it. Requires v2.2.0 of the plugin.

Oh wow, experimental support is even better, nice!
