Firefox 85 hangs on startup with this extension enabled, not sure why

I found that too but it's weird because nothing chanegd from the plugin API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/85

@json I created the Web Extensions https://github.com/noraj/firefox-extension-arch-search, I just need to wait for the xpi to be approved by Mozilla and I'll be able to submit the new PKGBUILD.

PS: new extensions can't be installed if not signed (.xpi) by Mozilla else (with .zip) the install doesn't survive the browser reboot.

https://github.com/sangsatori/firefox-aur-search might serve as a good starting point. I opened a feature request for supporting the other sites in that web-extension. But feel free to tackle the issue yourself :)

@json Thanks for the info, that feature downgrade sucks. It's much more work to create an extension for any search page. I'll write a web-extension to replace the opensearch XML one.

If https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1649971 is any indication, the feature to define and ship search engines via XML has been removed.

Doesn't appear to support the standard firefox-developer-edition package but it supports firefox-developer-edition-firefox-symlink-latest. As for if it works I have got no idea. EDIT: nevermind, i guess whoever manages the package group should update that

I confirm it's not showing up on Firefox 79.0
