Not at this point. The Firefox add-on system is moving to a superset
of the APIs currently supported by Chrome. Because the extension
already works in Chrome, it's just a matter of testing and ensuring
that Firefox supports the right APIs. We're in communication with the
Mozilla team that is adding this functionality. We're starting testing
now to see how close they are to supporting what we need, but after
two years of frustration with Mozilla's lack of interest in fixing the
critical bug, we may now be on track for a near-future port of the
Chrome extension to Firefox.
