Mozilla provides a nifty automated compatibility test as a first step to getting everything compatible. It threw a weird report when I submitted the extension (The "Report" section where errors should be is just blank), so I am reaching out to see if I can get a response before I dive deeper.

Unfortunately doesn't seem to work - it loads a tab to localhost:5000, which doesn't seem to work.

Hrm, looks like maybe the way manifests are generated differs between the two? That should only occur when it is running unpacked (ie when I am working on it locally). Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I should've thought to test that, I will upload a revision as soon as I have a chance to look into it.

I am working on getting this fixed, but I am blocked by AMO/Firefox Add-on Review. It looks like for listed extensions they disallow any remote scripts (I use apis.google.com for auth), so I may have to figure out an alternative distribution method once I get the fix for the localhost thing (which is just a difference in how the browser can be detected between chrome and FF).
