Feedback!

Do you have a question, want to report an error or request a feature, or maybe post a review? You have the following channels to choose from:

Make a post on Mozilla Discourse. The Add-on Support category is probably a good place to do it. My username on Discourse is stig, and you can notify me by using the mention feature in your post (Write "@stig").
You can comment the xIFr 1.0 announcement on my blog - Anyone can comment there, no account required.
You can contact me on GitHub. In the xIFr source repository you can create an Issue (a bug repport or a feature request) or post in Discussions.
You can of course post a review on Mozilla Add-ons - But suggests you use one of the other channels for bug reports, to give me a change to look at it first.
I'm also on Mastodon: @stignygaard@mastodon.world
If you prefer to keep it traditional and private, you can also send an email to

Chrome, Edge,... ?

Even though xIFr is made as a "cross-platform webextension", Mozilla Addons are the only Addons-store xIFr currently is available from. There are limited support for Chrome, Edge and other Chromium-based browsers if installed from local storage, but Deep Search features requires an API-functionality currently only available in Firefox. Chromium browsers actually have a more "intelligent" context-menu detecting more images than Firefox does without "Deep Search", but Firefox combined with xIFr's "Deep Search" feature performs generally way better than that. In conclusion, I'm currently in doubt about the level of support I will be delivering for other browsers, even though the ambition always was to make xIFr more broadly available.

Open Source and Credits

xIFr is open source and built "on top of" other open source projects. I'm not an expert on binary fileformats or parsing of such, and without the core work done on that in the projects that xIFr has "inherited" from, xIFr wouldn't be. Thus big credits to the developers of wxIF and FxIF. And thanks for making the work available under licensing allowing new work to be build upon it.
