Firefox does not support service workers yet

[meandavejustice]

Service workers are not yet supported in firefox, once they are supported we will add and publish to AMO.

Once firefox supports service workers, we need to add the github action to upload new versions of the extension to AMO, https://cardinalby.github.io/blog/post/github-actions/webext/6-publish-on-firefox-addons/

Now that firefox is accepting mv3 extensions, we can put together a build! I'll need to see how the service_worker will affect us, but a workaround shouldn't be too difficult.

@meandavejustice any update on this?

Maybe me or @whizzzkid could take a look
(we need to understand this hybrid MV2+MV3 problem space in Firefox for IPFS Companion anyway, and this extension is way smaller as a PoC)

@lidel I somehow missed this comment in github notifications...

Service workers are still not supported in Firefox, but there should be a workaround where we use 2 different manifestos. I have some ideas on expanding work with Pin Tweet, if that all works out I will definitely keep you looped in on what I figure out so it can be applied to companion
