Dumpster Fire ports Litterbox's x.com popup reader from Safari to Firefox
↗
Miles Abbott released Dumpster Fire, a Firefox port of the Safari extension Litterbox that opens x.com links in a popup rendering a single post via X's embed widget API without sending cookies.
Firefox users who want to view a referenced x.com post without loading the timeline or sharing cookies now have a one-click path modelled on the existing Safari extension. The required permission is broad, data access on all websites, because the extension must run on every page to mark qualifying links, though the x.com and twimg domains are listed as optional permissions. Only one feed in this set carried the release, suggesting a quiet launch rather than a coordinated announcement.
