toolkit-for-ynab: Toolkit stops working after Firefox Update

Name of Defective Feature

Options. As far as I can tell no features are working. Ones I notice, are running balance, options, being able to click and icon to hide reconciled transacations. Those are the ones I use the most.

System Settings (Required)

ToolKit Version: 0.7.13 Operating System (Mac/Windows/Etc): Windows 10 Browser (Chrome/Firefox/Safari):Firefox Browser Version: 55.03 Other Extensions:Lastpass

Export of Toolkit Settings (Bottom Left of Settings Page)

I wasn’t able to get these while running new version of firefox, downgraded to get toolkit running. I also tried removing and reinstalling the toolkit and it didn’t work with the default settings either. I can’t be positive if these were the exact settings I had running before because I removed & reinstalled, as I said so not sure if this info will help.

Hey guys, we’re actively working to get all of our features migrated into a WebExtensions-friendly codebase.

Please bear with us!

@Jagstyles, @lawrence-dol, @MegBergen, there is now a Firefox Quantum version available here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toolkit-for-ynab/

I’ll go ahead and close this issue. Obviously if you find any bugs with it please let us know!

Yup, we’ve been refactoring at a steady pace, but it’s a lot of work. Would be happy to accept pull requests to help us along. 👍

slower than we’d like 😕

there are actually a number of open PRs open moving us towards WebExtensions, anything you see that references “sauce” moves us towards web extensions 😛

This is going to be an issue for we Firefox users. Effective in Nov 2017, support for “legacy” extensions will be removed.

Extensions now need to be rebuilt using WebExtensions. Mozilla claims that this is a cross-browser standard; with a little luck it might be compatible with Chrome extensions, requiring just repackaging those for Firefox.

Firefox has a potentially useful page detailing differences between WebExtensions and Chrome’s extensions.
