Support for X.com links

[ayancey]

Twitter has almost completely migrated their domain to X.com. X.com links do not redirect through this extension over to Nitter.

Apply this patch and run npm run build, copy/link/rename the resulting .zip to .xpi and install it in Firefox and it works again.

Hey @Yetangitu, is there a reason why this is not in the main code?

[Kobayen]

That makes the extension into an unsigned extension, and then it becomes unusable.

I guess because the developer has not implemented it yet and nobody has made a PR for this change yet. I can submit it, maybe it gets picked up. Don't hold your breath though, there are loads of unmerged PRs for this extension.

Nah, it works fine, it'll nag but since you know there reason for the nag there is no problem other than the occasional nag. You'll need to disable mandatory signature verification by setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config though. You still get warnings about unsigned extensions but you can run them.

Here's the PR: #440
