SIFT - Save Bookmark Firefox Addon

This is a Firefox Desktop and Firefox for Android extension/add-on that gets the title, URL and description (if it exists) of the current webpage. It sends that data to SIFT (which is my personal organisation and knowledge base). It's almost entirely useless to everyone but me!

It's also worth noting, that the main functionality has been almost entirely written by ChatGPT.

Testing

Firefox Desktop

It's really easy to test on Firefox for Android.

# Zip the directory contents:
zip extension.zip *

In Firefox go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox and click on "Load Temporary Add-on...". After any changes, just zip the directory up again, and click "Reload".

Firefox for Android

It's actually really easy to test the extension on Firefox for Android, more details here but effectively install web-ext and then run the below command from within this directory. If you need anything else web-ext will tell you.

web-ext run -t firefox-android --adb-device <device-id> --firefox-apk org.mozilla.fenix

The above command will open Firefox for Android, and install the add-on. Anytime you change something, it'll reload it almost instantly. Quite impressive and makes it very easy to test.

Installation
