However as this is the dev release it's not signed by Mozilla so it can only be installed in the [Developer Release](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/) or other experimental releases once you've disabled the signing check by going to `about:config`, change `xpinstall.signatures.required` to `false`.\n\n__Chrome__: Chrome won't let you install unsigned crx files so you'll need to download the [latest release zip file](https://github.com/RobbieLD/tabby/releases/latest/download/tabby-chromium-dev.zip) and load it as an unpacked extension once you've extracted it  an enabled developer mode in chrome. Unfortunately that won't have auto updates.\n\n### Stable\nStable releases are available from the [FireFox add-on page](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabby/) and soon the Chrome web store page.\n\n## Usage\nTo use the extension you'll need a free unsplash api key which can be obtained from the [Unsplash Dev Portal](https://unsplash.com/developers). You will be prompted for this when you first open the extension.\n\n## Development\nThe code is written in [Svelte.js](https://svelte.dev/). To get started clone the repository and then run `yarn install` to install the required packages. You can start a development server with `yarn run dev` or package the extension with `yarn run build`.\n\n## Contributing\nContributions in the form of PRs are welcome. This started as a little project for me to make something I wanted but since I've gone to all that work I figured I'd put it on the Mozilla add-on hubs so other's could use it too. There's a lot of features around customisation which could be added but I haven't bothered with at the moment since it's how I want it, but I'll probably get to some of them in the future. \n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frobbield%2Ftabby","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frobbield%2Ftabby","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frobbield%2Ftabby/lists"}
