Hello Hristar,

To use a Chrome extension in Firefox, all you need is this :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-store-foxified/

Maybe you'd also like to take a look at this :

Note that not all Chrome extensions will work in Firefox, because Chrome supports WebExtension APIs differently and Firefox doesn't support them all.

@ cor-el : Good for you to have noticed that  ! I should have taken the time to look under "About this extension" - my bad  :(

@ Hristar : One consolation : VisBug will soon be available on addons.mozilla.org - till then you could give Chrome Store Foxified a try; one never knows ......

Some others report the exact same thing, while others report (just a few days ago) that it works fine for them (but they may be on an older Firefox version) :

Maybe wat for VisBug to become available on addons.mozilla.org ?
