Not compatible with e10s

[rugk]

Is this add-on compatible with Electrolysis (e10s)? Electrolysis is the new architecture of Firefox and Mozilla already rolls out some stable Firefox versions with e10s enabled.

According to ACR this add-on is not compatible with e10s.

Thanks for the report @rugk. I hadn't explicitly checked ACR. The add-on, btw, has been working fine on my latest release build installation. I'd check why ACR doesn't think so and update if required.

You have to update your manifest file if you want ACR to say "Add-on is compatible with e10s".

So, finally I got around to check e10s out. And, it turns out that we use sdk/selection API (to show QR for selection) which doesn't quite work yet as mentioned here :(. I've cc'ed myself to this issue but I think migrating to web-extension might be a better long term solution.

BTW I've created a WebExtension QR code add-on for modern Firefox versions, and it soon also supports generating QR codes from a selection. See #29 (comment).

@rugk, since I'm clearly unable to maintain my extension, I'd be happy to put out a link for you extension in this repo (amo page for my addon isn't usable anyway now). Would that be okay?

[rugk]

Sure, that would be glad. 😃
