Nah, TabMixPlus. Technically still runs on modern Firefox but you have to turn off signature signing and it breaks every few versions.

Install https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus in Firefox Nightly or Developer Edition. It is about as easy as installing any extension and FAR easier than messing with userChrome.

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 31 Dec 2023

To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds

Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1
