Zegnat Good morning
#
Loqi Zegnat: sknebel left you a message 1 day, 7 hours ago: btw, did you look into why android firefox didn't like to install your extension without tricks?
#
Loqi guten morgen
#
sknebel good morning!
#
Zegnat sknebel re: ext on Firefox for Android: I haven’t looked into it, I do not actually use it myself.
#
Zegnat I probably should look into it, but there are lots of things I *should* be doing ;)
#
sknebel yeah, no problem, just curious
#
Zegnat And as aaronpk would probably like us to stop automatically hitting the API, I am not sure if the mobile addon makes much sense
#
Zegnat It can never move to a browser-button (instead of automatic) approach, as buttons aren’t supported on Android.
#
sknebel hm
#
sknebel I could have bet I have extensions installed that add a menu entry
#
sknebel but maybe thats old APIs
#
sknebel Zegnat: there is this, android only though: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Firefox_for_Android/API/NativeWindow/menu/add
#
sknebel as used by https://github.com/gomita/viewsourcemobile/blob/master/bootstrap.js
#
sknebel android extension IMHO never should run automatically, don't create traffic unless explictily invoked
#
Zegnat That's the old API, sknebel. The nice thing with the new WebExtensions API is crossbrowser support. I would prefer not going back to different code for different browsers.
#
sknebel yeah, I assumed so
#
Zegnat See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/browserAction#Browser_compatibility
