Today is another #Signet #Saturday and it's fascinating as usual. Today I am digging into the Firefox extension. I've not only never looked at this code base, but I've also never written a #Firefox extension either. Weeee!

The #Mozilla documentation is outstanding, as usual. And the problem is sites that implement their login form without using a

tag. So far I have only seen this on sites that don't have a password field on their login form and use a bunch of #JS to manipulate the DOM **without reloading the page.**

Testing will continue until I can figure out some way to deal with their nonsense. It may be bullshit, but users want it to just work. And me not dealing with the websites crap isn't going to cause them to fix their site.

Currently everything works, even on these nonsense sites, but only if you refresh the page after getting to the login page. Obviously this is not good enough, but it is progress from earlier today.

TL;DR not only do I fight **against** the megacorps, but more importantly I also fight **for** the users! ✊
