OverbiteWX

Re-enables the Gopher protocol in Firefox 56 and above, allowing you to enter Gopher URLs and click on Gopher links. Because WebExtensions does not yet have a TCP sockets API, this version redirects your requests to the Floodgap Public Gopher Proxy.

2021-10-01 Derek It works! I didn't know you could visit Gopher sites with firefox. I always thought Lynx was the only alternative.

2020-02-04 Firefox user 15636829 I'm very glad this extension and the project supporting continues to exist. Until FF fixes their WebExtensions API, this remains one of the very few or sole entry into the Gopher section of the internet. Thanks for providing that avenue and keep up the good work! ^_^
