Apollo-client-devtools: Broken Firefox Addon Link

[dan003400]

The link to the Firefox DevTools addon is broken:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/apollo-developer-tools/

Can't even find them in the store, so probably not in there yet?

[dan003400]

Me either so I was assuming it was taken down?

Is there any news on this? :)

Would be nice to have this. Trying to switch over completely from chrome...chrome is sucking up 17gigs of ram on my 32gig workstation

I would appreciate having the devtools for Firefox as well.

We do need a Chrome alternative.

@Extarys This is about the Firefox version - please open a new issue for the Chrome Version

[Extarys]

@dvdbot it is concerning Firefox, as I said, we need something else than just Chrome. :smile:

This is a duplicate of #114. Note, there is an open request which is over a year old requesting Firefox support (see #73)

Although I haven't tried it, @eschaefer has a temporary workaround that seems interesting: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client-devtools/issues/114#issuecomment-388805335

With all the privacy issues surrounding Chrome the last few days, a lot of us would love to switch over to Firefox. Apollo dev tools is the last extension I need in order to do that.

Anyone knows why the plugin was pulled from the Firefox extension store?

For anyone seeing this now, you can manually build this addon and use it in Firefox.

1. Clone the repo
2. Run npm install && npm run build
3. Navigate to about:debugging in Firefox
4. Click "Load Temporary Add-on"
5. Navigate to /repo_root/shells/webextension and load that folder as an addon

I received a warning during the above steps, but the addon itself appears to be working fine.
Maybe someone would be interested in uploading an unofficial version to the Firefox extension site?

[gfelot]

@Dieff How do you load that folder as an addon? I can choose a file but not a folder.

[Dieff]

So you actually select the file manifest.json, which results in the addon being loaded. The manifest is under apollo-client-devtools/shells/webextension/manifest.json.

Please add the dev tools to firefox ;-;

[gaelduplessix]

I built a self-signed version. I promise it won't steal your bitcoins <3

(I don't expect anyone to trust me but it would take way more time to have it validated and added to Firefox registry, also I'm not even sure I have the right to distribute this without approval from Apollo team)

To install:

• Unzip apollo_client_developer_tools-2.1.5-fx.xpi.zip
• Go to Add-ons (⌘+⇧+A)
• ⚙️ -> Install Add-on from file...
• Select .xpi file
• Done!

Please see https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client-devtools/issues/73#issuecomment-444497422. In a nutshell - devtools supports FF, but has been pulled by FF. We're working on a fix, and will track all progress in #73. Thanks!
