Port to Firefox

[n0samu]

Thanks for the fun extension, I love the idea! I took a quick into porting this to Firefox and I think the main obstacle is its use of the offscreen document API, which Firefox doesn't seem to support. Not sure if a background page would be a suitable alternative.

Could the buttons be stored using storage and then the page just made on load?

Can people not just comment that they would like it? You can like the issue instead and then no one gets a notification.

More notifications means more attention

oh no.
EDIT: found a port, but there's no releases: button-robber

They tried pretty much the same thing that I did. They didn't replace the usage of the offscreen document API so it does not work.

I've managed to port this to firefox if anyone is interested: https://github.com/Walcriz/button-stealer/releases/tag/1.0.3

Thank you, I'll test it out soon! I see that you're creating a hidden tab instead of using the offscreen document API - I didn't think of doing that. Great way to "polyfill" that API and avoid rewriting much of the extension.

Will this Firefox version be merged and/or published?
