    Share as QR — v0.1.0

    First public version of Share as QR, a small Firefox MV3 extension that
    turns the active tab's URL into a scannable QR code via a toolbar-popup.

    Features

    • Click the toolbar icon on any normal web page → popup shows a ~280 px QR
      code of the current URL plus a Copy URL button.
    • Light/dark popup chrome via prefers-color-scheme (the QR itself stays
      light-on-dark so phone cameras can read it).
    • Friendly fallback messages for browser-internal URLs (about:,
      moz-extension:, etc.) and for URLs too long to fit a QR (>~2.9 KB).

    Privacy

    No network requests. The QR is generated locally by the bundled
    qrcode-generator library
    (MIT, pinned to commit 83b7e8fe3fddd3b0368dbafd6ce56995bd25e3c8). The
    manifest declares data_collection_permissions: "none".

    Permissions used (minimum needed):

    • activeTab — read the active tab's URL when the popup opens.
    • clipboardWrite — back the Copy URL button.

    Compatibility

    Firefox 142 or newer (strict_min_version: 142.0). The floor exists because
    the manifest declares data_collection_permissions, which is recognised
    from Firefox 140 desktop / 142 Android.

    Install

    Attached: share_as_qr-0.1.0.zip (~12 KB).

    Until this extension is signed by AMO, you can load it via
    about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefoxLoad Temporary Add-on…
    extract the zip and pick manifest.json.
