[Firefox is now supported](https://github.com/alexherbo2/chrome-configuration/commit/7677a695cd2bd2aac2a35970b3bb1f8d4f87030b) and the extension is compatible with Chrome-based browsers.

Just added a [custom prompt](https://github.com/alexherbo2/chrome-configuration/commit/0dee488a3c720e0835f84bc7230dcc64b2503364) which appearance is similar to the Chrome search box. Firefox still uses the built-in [`prompt()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/prompt) because it does not support [`showModal()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLDialogElement/showModal).
