Would love to see a Firefox port.

It doesn't seems to be using any Chrome api, so porting it to the Firefox SDK should be a trivial matter.

See https://gist.github.com/Spittie/93adf218040d470abd40 (http://81.4.126.121/i/1400019350.png), probably the hardest part is "fixing" the css if it's using some only webkit- feature. Also I'm not sure if it's possible to load local images withing the page-mod api, but embedding them as base64 images is easy enough.

EDIT: oh well, Enjoy: https://github.com/Spittie/octotree No pull-requests because I've moved pretty much everything to make it working. The right way would probably be to use some build system, but who has time for that? :)

Wow, that's fast, thanks a lot. Let me see if I can roll out a build script and merge your code (as well as the Safari fork made by another person).

If you do, that would be awesome, considering that I'm too lazy to maintain the firefox version for a lot of time :)

Not that I did change a lot of stuff, but with everything in a different folder I can't just git pull from your repository.

And thanks for the great extension!

Done. I've added a build script to generate structures for Chrome, Firefox and Safari. The prebuilt packages for Firefox and Safari are here: https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree/tree/master/dist. Thanks again for the direction.

That was fast! I can't edit my old comment, but I've changed the readme to point to your repository. When this thread die, I'll delete it.

Thanks a lot for this!

I was also looking for a port for Firefox as well, since I've been switching to it for a while now. Thanks a lot!

Works like a charm. Nice touch encoding the images (https://github.com/Spittie/octotree/commit/e41b1c5b6734bf613...)
