The known incompatibilities with the Chrome version are:
  • the window is not resizable (cf Bug 680823)
  • the options page does not open automatically on first-run
For those interested in the technical details regarding making the extension compatible between Chrome and Firefox, see https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan-chro...ls:firefox for the differences that were required.

In summary the differences were:
  • Firefox choosing not to implemented deprecated aspects of the API
  • Immaturity of the extension API implementation
  • Firefox having more restrictive security policies
  • The usual older vs newer standards implementation differences
with Bug 449811 being the only actual bug that had to be addressed.

Excellent work! Big Grin
