Sourcegraph CEO here. We have a Firefox extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sourcegraph-a..., but it does not have quite as many features as the Chrome one.

I agree we should open-source the browser extension code, though. I would like us to do that soon. Can you send me a quick email at sqs@sourcegraph.com so I can tell you when it's open source?

It says "Compatible with Firefox 57+" so I assume it's based on the same code as the Chrome one… What APIs do you use that are not supported in Firefox? :)

(Also it says "Released under MIT/X11 License" already…)

We're a small team and we don't yet update the Firefox extension as frequently (it is still a manual process, whereas we've automated the deployment of our Chrome extension). That's all.

Regarding the licensing, I meant that we'll release the build scripts and supporting libraries used to build it, not just the final bundle.
