All credit goes to him as the original developer. I have simply tweaked the code to let it run on Firefox.

The British Pound is missing in Firefox + it would be better if you can sort currency names alphabetically in ascending order. Right now it looks like they're sorted in the order they were added in the extension which makes it hard to find the currency you need.

I believe it would be amazing if you just add a way to reorder the items and give it a flatter design langauge. It's a very minimal extension which is amazing but just some additional touches could make it absolutely unbeatable
