by Teobaldo, 5 years agoGreat extension!
It would be great if we could open URL like file:/// pages too.
Congrats for the extensions! "No permissions needed" is awesome.
P.S. I'm so sorry Firefox removed the native Open in sidebar function for bookmarks (in instead of improving it).

Thank you for reviewing.
> It would be great if we could open URL like file:/// pages too.
I tried to open a file:/// page and it failed.
However, I think this is ideal behavior. If an add-on can open any local files, malicious developers can read and send all of files which include password, personal data and etc. Of course, my all add-ons do not read any personal data (and it is impossible because I published my source codes on github), yet add-ons must behave like this to protect users, I think.

This is what I am hoping for all add-ons.
My add-ons have been improved by requesting features. I was glad to receive your requesting even if it could not be realized.
