Hi,
I never designed this extension to work for Firefox, but first please try the 2.1.0 release I just published.
Also look for JS errors.

Oh noted. I tried the 2.1.0 release and it have me the same "background.service_worker is currently disabled" error

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

This sounds like a manifest v2/v3 issue. Are you aware of #38?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

yep i tried #38 and i was able to intstall vs 2.0.1 on firefox which worked flawlessly .

v 2.0.1
},
"background": {
"scripts": ["browser-polyfill.js", "background.js"]
},

and v 2.0.2

"background":
{
"service_worker": "background.js"
},
"host_permissions": ["https://web.whatsapp.com/*"],
"content_scripts":
[
{

there is a reference to service worker in v 2.0.2 and v 2.1.0

other errors can be resolved with the solutions present in #103

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

So what is your error currently?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Main issue being that if i add v 2.0.1 to the ff then it get added and works without issue since it doesnt have background service worker. whereas the counterpart v 2.0.2 or 2.1.0 has background service worker which throws an error when added to ff. as ff doesnt support background service worker. and i was wondering if anyhow it would be possible to run the v2.0.2 upwards on ff.

The service worker is a manifest v3 thing I believe, so this makes sense. You could port it back to manifest v2 and convert the service worker to a background page just like you did. You could also figure out if Firefox supports manifest v3 (last time I checked it didn't).

Hi.
You can try fixing it to work with firefox version of manifest v3 using this guide. Firefox made some changes to chrome implementation.
It worked for different extensions. I'll try doing it, and if it will work I'll post an update.

Hi @OnlyNandan, did you manage to make it work?

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

Hey,
Nope no luck as of now. only got the older versions running.

from whatsapp-web-incognito.

For context - what does Firefox do differently or otherwise still not support that's making this remain a blocker for newer versions of the extension?

And what about version 2.0.1? Is that fine?

Its with regards to firefox not supporting manifest v3 yet

@OnlyNandan is there something they haven't implemented yet, or something I'm missing, since according to this they already have it available?
