If by chrome plugin you meant extension then you might not have to recreate your chrome extension from scratch for firefox. Look at firefox's webExtensions page, it's pretty much compatible with most of chrome's api and you probably won't have to change your code all that much.
- perfectfire 10y agoWow, yeah, I definitely meant extension. Don't know where plugin came from. I was already writing my Firefox extension using the then WIP Web Extensions api, but I don't remember it being compatible with Chrome extensions, but it's right there on their Web Extensions homepage: "To a large extent the system is compatible with the extension API supported by Google Chrome and Opera. Extensions written for these browsers will in most cases run in Firefox or Microsoft Edge with just a few changes." And it should even work in Edge. Now I get to go back and look at what the heck I was doing with the Firefox extension. Thanks for the info!
