I have written browser extensions in Chrome very successfully. And failed horribly with Firefox.
Now when I see any working extension in Firefox I marvel at how much work that person must have put in to get it to work. Over time hopefully Firefox will get better. But the extensions have been bad for a while...
- mtgx 11y agoThat's exactly why they want to move to the WebExtensions format.
- icebraining 11y agoI've built a Firefox extension (now abandoned), which even used XPCOM, and while the documentation was spotty (this was back in 2010, it may have improved), it wasn't particularly difficult. The fact that you can easily unzip any extension and look at its source makes up for a lot of gaps in the docs.
