(Whiteboard: parity-chrome)
We would like to support the IE Tab Chrome WebExtension (https://www.ietab.net/) in the Firefox China Repack.
Here are Botong's notes from his tests running the IE Tab Chrome extension in Firefox:
* With hand tweaked native host manifest and registry keys, the extension can be loaded into Firefox
* A few APIs used by the extension are still missing from Firefox, but they don't appear to be in any critical path:
* chrome.permissions [bug 1197420]
* chrome.runtime.onMessageExternal (the web facing part, not the
inter-extension one) [bug 1319168]
* chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired [bug 1190689]
* With either 32-bit or 64-bit Firefox, the extension can talk to the corresponding binary successfully
* The URL bar for IE rendering in the moz-extension page is visible, while the main content is blank
* I briefly suspected the missing of "--parent-window" in the invoked command line [bug 1270359], but when tested in Chrome, the value is just "0" instead of any Windows HANDLE
* Navigating with the IE URL bar, the correct page title can be received from the binary, suggesting the embedded IE component is partially working in the background
