SPDX License Diff browser extension not producing report

Sebastian Crane
 

Dear all,

Recently the SPDX License Diff browser extension has ceased to work
for me. Selecting a piece of text and running the plugin displays the
'Processing...' progress bar, but no report is produced.

It hasn't been updated this year, and I'm running it with Firefox
102.6.0esr (64-bit) on Debian 11. This makes me think that maybe our
License List format or the Firefox WebExtensions API has changed
recently in a way that breaks the tool.

Best wishes (happy New Year everyone!)

I just checked on my Chrome and Firefox and they both worked for me. I'm
using Firefox version 108.0.1 64 bit on Windows 11. Maybe something
specific to the Debian version of Firefox?
