Description

Since Firefox can install Chrome extensions directly, a seperate code base for Firefox is not required. Therefore I deleted the XPI code;

Testing Done

Try User test on Firefox and Chrome to make sure all features still works after the deletion.

Also, I'm not sure what "deleted most of them" means. Can you explain that you've deleted the XPI code?

ridum March 28, 2018, 12:44 a.m.

I said I deleted most of them bacause I am not sure if I have deleted all of them (there might be some configuration remaining XPI staff hiding in the gulp that I did not found.). But I am sure all the installation and parsing materials of XPI are deleted

Hey Ridum,

Since Firefox can not install Chrome extensions directly

I think you mean "Since Firefox can install Chrome extensions directly".

I have a bunch of notes here, mainly around UA detection and some formatting / stylistic stuff. Also, I think we can probably get rid of the crx folder and move everything into the root folder, can we not? Or perhaps just have a generic "extension" folder?

ridum April 3, 2018, 5:23 p.m.

I put everything in the content folder now.
I do feel like a content folder is needed to seperate the extension contents from git/building folders.

I think we can avoid doing the UA string detection here, and instead use something like:

if (!browser) {
  var browser = chrome;
}

ridum April 3, 2018, 5:23 p.m.

I might still need the UA string detection here since it is needed to determine whether using callback or promise.

Let's call this callbackFn instead.

I'm reasonably certain that the Firefox implementation of the API also can take a callback function, can it not?

ridum April 3, 2018, 5:23 p.m.

So I did a research about this :

According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/tabs/captureVisibleTab, browser.tabs.captureVisibleTab() only return a promise and cannot take a call back function as an argument.
However, according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API, 

"As a porting aid, the Firefox implementation of WebExtensions APIs supports chrome and callbacks as well as browser and promises." 
So ideally for porting purpose if we let browser = chrome we could use callback function, but I feel weird for letting a Firefox running API under chrome namespace (despite that Firefox allow it). I could switch back if it is not the case.

ridum April 3, 2018, 5:26 p.m.
