Description Jonathan Druart 2023-06-08 14:41:35 UTC
The tool has not been updated and is no longer working with modern browser.
It should either be rewritten/adjusted or removed. Given that we didn't get complains its non-functional status, bugs related to this tool didn't get attention, and the community is lacking resources, I am suggesting to remove it and redirect users to the koct FF plugin that is known to be working.

And the desktop app for windows users.
Comment 2 Jonathan Druart 2023-06-08 14:44:17 UTC

Comment 11 Caroline Cyr La Rose 2024-01-17 15:31:43 UTC
In accordance with the "one manual (to rule them all)", I only added a bunch of notes to indicate that this was deprecated, rather than removing the section.
