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 commit83b7e8fe3fddd3b0368dbafd6ce56995bd25e3c8). The
manifest declaresdata_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 declaresdata_collection_permissions, which is recognised
from Firefox 140 desktop / 142 Android.Install
