The extension is installed per-instance from the operator's FC host, so Firefox's
static update_url can't apply (each instance has a different host) and updates
were fully manual. Add a self-hosted-friendly update surface that reuses the
existing public GET /api/extension/manifest ({version, latest_url, sha256}):
- lib/api.js: getExtensionManifest().
- background.js: checkForUpdateInfo() compares the instance's latest published
version against runtime.getManifest().version (dotted-numeric compare so
1.0.10 > 1.0.9); CHECK_UPDATE message handler; refreshUpdateBadge() sets a
toolbar badge via browser.action; a daily browser.alarms check plus on
startup/installed. New 'alarms' permission (non-prompting).
- popup: an 'Update available — vX' banner with an Update button that opens the
signed XPI (web root, /api stripped like OPEN_ARTIST_PAGE) → Firefox's native
install prompt. Never blocks the popup on a failed check.
No backend changes (endpoint already exists). Bump 1.0.8→1.0.9 so this ships;
from here on updates surface themselves instead of needing a manual reinstall.

FabledCurator Firefox Extension
Self-hosted Firefox extension that pushes session cookies from supported platforms (Patreon, SubscribeStar, Hentai-Foundry, Discord, Pixiv, DeviantArt) into FabledCurator, and lets you add a creator as a Source from their page in one click.
Install (operator)
The signed XPI is bundled into the FC Docker image. Open FC → Settings → Maintenance → Browser extension → click "Install Firefox extension". Firefox shows its native install prompt. After installing, open the extension's options page (about:addons → FabledCurator → Preferences) and paste in the FC URL + extension API key shown on the same card.
Develop
cd extension/
npm install --no-save # web-ext only
npm run lint # web-ext lint
npm run start # launches Firefox with extension loaded
npm run build # unsigned XPI in web-ext-artifacts/
Smoke checklist (after every release that touches extension/**)
npm run lintpassesnpm run startloads the extension in a clean Firefox profile- Options page accepts FC URL + key, indicator turns green
- Cookie export: log into patreon.com, click Patreon card → "X cookies exported"
- Discord token: open discord.com, click Discord card → "Token captured"
- Pixiv OAuth: click Pixiv card → login redirects, token stored
- Add as source: visit patreon.com/, click floating button → toast
- Subscriptions list: popup → "Sources" tab → list renders
- Check now: click play icon on source row → no error toast
Release
Bump manifest.json + package.json SemVer (both files) and commit
under extension/**. The .forgejo/workflows/extension.yml workflow
runs web-ext sign on main, commits the signed XPI to
frontend/public/extension/, and the next FC server build bundles it
into the Docker image.
