## Download/Installation

### ⚠️ This is a **pre-release, temporary extension**! It will be **removed when you restart your browser**! ⚠️

ℹ️ We're working on a proper firefox store release already.

To install go to [the releases page](https://github.com/ItsVipra/ProToots/releases) and follow the instructions there.

## FAQ

Why does it need permission for all websites?

> The addon needs to determine whether or not the site you are currently browsing is a Mastodon server. For that to work, it requires access to all sites. Otherwise, each existing Mastodon server would have to be explicitly added.

## setup

- install web-ext with `npm install --global web-ext`
- optionally:
  - run `web-ext run --firefox-profile='$ProfileNameOfYourChoosing' --profile-create-if-mising`
  - open that profile in firefox, log into fedi
  - after that when you run `web-ext run -p='$ProfileNameOfYourChoosing'` you should be logged into your fedi account
- run the extension with `web-ext run -u -u="yourinstancehere"`
