Did this add-on work, there are no blocking bugs for this.

Comment 2

[Matthew Wein [:mattw]]

It almost works, but fails due to dependencies on deprecated methods which I don't believe we plan to implement:

chrome.tabs.getSelected - We recommend using tabs.query({active: true}, ...) instead.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/Tabs/getSelected

chrome.tabs.onSelectionChanged - We recommend using tabs.onActivated instead.

In that case we'll let web of trust update to the newer APIs and call this one done. If there's anything else blocking this extension from porting, we'll re-open.

I get this error when installing from the Firefox test link "This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt" in recent Nightly.

Should I add bug #1313567 in this bug's "Depends on" section?
