"Edit with Emacs" is slowing down Firefox about emacs_chrome HOT 10 CLOSED

Yeah I suspect this is a very heavy page to be doing a dumb iteration over all the elements. I suspect jQuery could come up with a better subset of elements to check through rather than testing their type in findTextAreas.

Could you try the current state of master and see if things have improved.

from emacs_chrome.

Yes, it has improved a lot. When I load the mentioned page, I don't notice any UI blocking. Thanks!

from emacs_chrome.

OK thanks for testing - this will roll into the next release.

Do you have any time plan for the release? I'm asking whether I should invest time to figuring out how to use an unsigned extension (development version) or just wait a few days for the release.

from emacs_chrome.

No immediate plan. I need to clean up the multi-browser handling (polyfill) and then figure out the publishing via my user account as I think @dakra has moved on from doing that side of things. Using the signed extension is not overly hard (although I had to jump through hoops on my Flatpak version of Firefox).

Right, I use a different package now. I'm happy to transfer the project to your account so users don't have to install a different extension and you keep the 5 star reviews ;)
Publishing was simple with web-ext. I can also do it one more time for you if you want.
But long-term, probably better if everything is in your hands.

Ahh if you can transfer it to my Firefox id that would be great (it's also stsquad).

It needs an email. I tried your linaro address that you use for commits but it doesn't find you.
