CRX Viewer for Firefox is implemented as a WebExtension. This is recent technology, and not all Firefox versions support it. This page lists the bugs that affect this extension. There are also bugs for which I have found a satisfactory work-around, these are not listed below (but you can read about them in the source code).
- Not supported, the extension button does not even show up.
- Extension button on addon/webstore pages. Clicking the extension button shows a menu with that allows you to view the source code or download as a zip file.
- Contextmenu items appear on all links (should be limited to extension links, but that does not work because of https://bugzil.la/1275126). There should be also a context menu on some pages (AMO/CWS), but this is not yet supported by Firefox.
- The preference page is now visible in the addon manager. This can be used to disable context menu items (https://bugzil.la/1250784).
- Extension URLs with a colon are viewed properly (https://bugzil.la/719905).
The ugly work-around to use
%u003Ainstead of%3Ais not needed any more.
- The download API now support
blob:URLs (https://bugzil.la/1271345). This is now used for downloading via the Download button at the extension button (opposed to downloading via the tab).
- Linked downloads are now implemented using
blob:-URLs instead ofdata:-URLs because Firefox with e10s now supportsblob:moz-extension:(https://bugzil.la/1287346). - Context menus are properly cleaned up when the addon is re-enabled (https://bugzil.la/1287359). Now it is not possible to accidentally have two duplicate context menu items.
- Page-specific context menus are now working as intended (bugzil.la/1275116).
- Link-specific context menus are now working as intended (bugzil.la/1275126).
The following bugs are still open in Firefox Nightly:
