WebExtension Tests

A collection of extensions to test Firefox's support for WebExtensions.

Each folder has its own README describing the test and linking back to Bugzilla.

Most extensions are designed to run on example.com.

Using this repository

Note: To test in Firefox, you must use Nightly or DevEdition and set xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config.

Clone this repo.
Run make to zip each add-on into a standalone .xpi file.
Drag the desired .xpi file into Firefox and choose "Install."
Visit example.com and view the browser console.

To check parity with Chrome:

Note: To test in Chrome, "Developer Mode" must be enabled in chrome://extensions/.

Visit chrome://extensions/.
Click "Load Unpacked Extension".
Select the desired extension's folder.
Visit example.com and view the browser console.

Porting Chrome Extensions to Firefox

hi Dan! Question about
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/10/porting-chrome-extensions-to-firefox-with-webextensions

i know those steps are intended for custom extensions, but i applied your steps to this extension
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/1-click-extension-manager/ohajmcdpjokbdoihfhkpbmlmknejmoec

Firefox says "Cannot install, appears to be corrupt", when i dragged the xpi into about:addons.

Steps:

Using Mozilla Light (that could be the problem)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lightfirefox/
Download the crx
Validated the crx with:
https://www.extensiontest.com/
Extracted the .crx
Edited manifest.json, so it now contains:

"applications": {
  "gecko": {
    "id": "[email protected]"
  }
},

{
"update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",

    "name": "1-Click Extension Manager",
    "description": "Manage Chrome extension at the tip of your finger, with just 1-click.",
    "version": "1.0",
    "manifest_version": 2,
    "icons": {
        "128": "logo.png",
        "16": "logo.png"
    },
    "permissions": ["management"],
    "browser_action": {
        "default_icon": "logo.png",
        "default_popup": "popup.html"
    }
}
