Known Issues

• It's IMPOSSIBLE to use this add-on under some special pages or domains like https://addons.mozilla.org/ . This is the restriction of Firefox browser itself.
• Some kanjis are annotated with wrong furigana. This is a known issue, and not the responsibility of this package (instead, this is implemented via 3rd-party library igo.js). PLEASE DO NOT OPEN ISSUE ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.

About License

I originally found this great Chrome extension at ilya.lissoboi's FuriganaInjectorPlusPlus, but I want to make it run on my Firefox for Android so I forked it and port it into WebExtension. It's license is MIT so I decide to follow it.

HOWEVER, after some DuckDuckGoing, I found it seems the original author may be https://github.com/akira-kurogane, with his Furigana Injector hosting on Google Code which has been redirected to Github. AND its Firefox extension (legacy, not WebExtension) is released under GPLv2. The worse thing is that Chrome extension version has no information about license.

This is a chaos, so I searched getServerFileToArrayBufffer on Github, I found several people use the same code, but the copyright holder in LICENSE is replaced with themselves names. The worst, somebody even deleted all commit history, I don't know why they did such thing.

I have to say this made me so sad. The developers spending their free time and vacations on FLOSS projects should always be respected.
