#Firefox extension
Building the firefox extension requires the Firefox Addon SDK.
The easiest way to install this is by cloning git@github.com: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.
##Releasing a new version
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 togh-pages
branch
