Webextension compatible

[Dimas-sc]

Will this addon be compatible with Webextensions / Firefox 57?

I'm using firefox 57. This plugin is broken :'(

@schomery there's been no activity on this add-on for a year. Do you currently have a roadmap to implement WebExtensions?

[schomery]

There is no API to read Tab's memory as far as I know! So there is no way to port this to WebExtension.

@schomery is there any request on bugzilla we can vote?

[schomery]

I don't think so. Though I havent recently searched the Bugzilla. If you found one please share here.

Thanks @yfdyh000

[bunnybooboo]

The discussions across those bugs look somewhat encouraging.

[schomery]

We need something similar to https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/processes

[bunnybooboo]

Hmm. @schomery have you also seen https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1351346
I highly suggest jumping in on either of those bugs to step up as the experimental webextension they're talking of. If you might have time to further develop?

https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/processes#method-getProcessInfo with includeMemory?

[schomery]

@rshadow yes.

@bunnybooboo I am not really into it. I've reported several bugs in the past and usually, they go nowhere! When the API is ready in Chrome (not as an experimental one), I'll start porting the extension.

[bunnybooboo]

No worries @schomery My concern is that without a PoC the API might never happen.

In addition to memory, cpu usage would be phenom! (yeah, this is a thinly disguised "bump" ;^) )

Hello guys,
I saw you were discussing on this.
Now Firefox has about:performance
And, I did some modification on Mozilla's code to show CPU and memory bar on each tab, as userChrome script (https://github.com/garywill/firefoxtaskmonitor)
It's in beta but it works.
