It was hard to find bundled .exe installer. But I'm finally happy with the working add-on

Hi, since the last (and first) release, the addon has gone through many stability improvements; I haven't released it yet. When I do, it will offer downloading the .exe installer directly. It is also available on GitHub.

    Doesn't seem to work with offline webapps but otherwise works perfectly.

    I'm sorry that the addon doesn't work as expected. However, it is most likely caused by your outdated Ubuntu version. I have tested it on Ubuntu 22.04 and it works fine. Please try updating your system.
    An auto installer is not needed and not a viable option, because every Linux system is different and needs to have different installation paths.

    Finally I can debug my web apps needing device access in my favorite browser! Great work. It's a bummer that Mozilla org refuses to implement these features natively. Browsers are also a major app platform and has been for years, if not decades. Weird that it's still controversial for some.

    Works with hackrf.app, was able to update firmware using FF now. Very nice. The download link for the native app didn't work for me so I had to manually download it from github but after that it worked flawlessly and just like in a Chrome browser.

    The native app must be installed manually, it cannot be bypassed - this is a limitation of Firefox and how extensions work. There are other add-ons that require installing apps manually, such as Google Remote Desktop.

    Unfortunately, it does not work with the esc-configurator.com site (Firefox 115 Debian 12)

    Does exactly what I need so I no longer need to use chrome/edge/opera/etc for web based tools, very cool

    This should be a standard feature idk why firefox is so unwilling to implement it
