Thanks, yes I've just had a look at the Firefox api and its very similar to Chrome's, so it shouldn't take much work!

In case you weren't already aware, there is almost a cross-browser standard for doing that: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions and https://browserext.github.io/browserext/ is the draft standard

Thanks!

I've tried to use as little browser-"specific" api's as I could, the main problem was the manifest.json file, which vary a bit between Chrome and Firefox

Anyway here's the link to the Firefox version if you're interested:

Let me know what you think, or if there's any issues
