#Firefox extension

Building the firefox extension requires the Firefox Addon SDK. The easiest way to install this is by cloning [email protected]:mozilla/addon-sdk.git and running source bin/activate in the repo which installs the appropriate environment variables in that shell. Some handy commands to get you started: cfx run in the firefox extension directory will run a profile-less firefox process with the extension installed, and cfx xpi will compile the XPI.

We're using Github pages for hosting our extensions. When releasing a new version of the extension you follow these steps:

  • Run .build.sh in the firefox folder
  • Push changes to the master branch (including the compiled version of the extension)
  • Merge master branch to gh-pages branch
