As a fellow WebExtension developer, I'm shocked to see how many extension "product" teams just skip adding a version for Firefox, when most of the code is the same (due to the shared standard.) Thank you for doing what's right!

Thanks! It was a bit more work than I expected to be honest. I wish I had started originally using Mozilla's polyfill: https://github.com/mozilla/webextension-polyfill

I'd love to begin writing my own extension (or two) at some point in the near future so I appreciate the tip.
