Automatically Reload A Firefox Extension During Development

Introduction

TODO

    look at: web-ext: https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/getting-started-with-web-ext/

    Note that on a mac you may have to allow it to work via your privacy settings (it was Privacy - App Management - GHossty for me. It's the one that says you can update and delete other apps)

    -u for opening a specific URL

    Note: there is some weirdness when trying to stop it. Sometimes I have to kill it with kill PID. Sometimes Controlc does it, but messes with the terminal somehow so when I type Controlc again it shows up as text instead of sending the command.
