Upgrade build tooling (mozilla add-ons listing down)

[cadorn]

The build tooling is currently failing.

It needs to be upgraded to the latest tech.

A mozilla extension reviewer is unable to build the extension.

[cadorn]

I have been working on updating the libraries underlying the extension to a new build system. I am about to update the extension.

Yes please, your tool was awesome. I was looking for it. Is there a way to make it work also on Firefox Developer Edition?

I'm using it on FF developer Edition (and Chrome if I need 2 Browsers) - it's working.
but you are right with one thing: it's awesome :-)

@stSaHiB ¿Where do you find the PlugIn on FF Dev? I can't find it on the Firefox Repository :(

@jeeba The mozilla add-ons listing is currently down until I publish a new release that passes review.

You can install the extension from here in the meantime: https://github.com/firephp/firephp-for-browser-devtools#local

I have a new preview build 1.4.2 pre to test for regressions: https://github.com/firephp/firephp-for-browser-devtools/tree/pre/dist

It is from this PR: #59

It should work on Firefox, Chrome & Brave.

Just a bit more work and the extension can be built from source. I'll then submit to addons and chrome store.

Then on to bug fixes and new features! :D

A new release has been submitted to Mozilla & Google for review: https://github.com/firephp/firephp-for-browser-devtools/releases/tag/v1.4.6

Will take up to several weeks for manual review by them.

Another new release with a better permissions grant flow for chrome has been submitted. The user is now asked to grant permissions for every hostname specifically so the extension does not need access to all hostnames by default.

This optional_permissions feature is not working on firefox as the webRequest API does not get events when granting permissions to a new hostname. On firefox, the user must still grant all permissions from the start. See: #63

A new build has been submitted to Mozilla: https://github.com/firephp/firephp-for-browser-devtools/releases/tag/v1.5.7

It should pass manual approval now and stay up.
