My add-on, compiled from a Greasemonkey script that uses GM_ functions, does not work in Firefox version 31+ -

i have firefox add-on overlay based extension working in firefox version 31. not working in version 32 , above. utilize userscript compiler tool build extension. don't see anything(errors/outputs) in console extension.

though when run script using greasemonkey plugin working fine. problem when running extension after building xpi file.

below extension structure:

myextension |-->skin |-->classic |-->content |-->myscript.user.js |-->myscriptprefman.js |-->myscriptscript-compiler.js |-->myscriptxmlhttprequester.js |-->script-compiler-overlay.xul |-->chrome |-->install.rdf |-->icon.png |-->chrome.manifest

below install.rdf file contents:

chrome.manifest contents:

do need alter in extension or convert bootstrap extension or utilize add-on sdk build xpi file?

update:

i have followed the add-on sdk method suggested wladimir , created xpi installer file. userscripts not running within page. code still runs greasemonkey add-on.

this greasemonkey script runs fine in greasemonkey, not when made extension via neither compiler nor sdk.

i followed steps install add-on sdk in local machine. used cfx command build xpi file. install in firefox latest version(ver.33.0.2) , visit openuserjs.org can't see anything. why that?

i have replicated code using firefox request api gm_xmlhttprequest , local storage storing info locally. , create script communicate main.js using message passing backbone of restartless firefox addon sdk api's.

var info = require("self").data; var pagemod = require("page-mod"); pagemod.pagemod({ include: "*.example.com", //mywebsite url contentscriptwhen: 'start', contentscriptfile: data.url("contentscript.js") });

contentscriptfile place want write userscripts , communicate main.js using port messaging in latest firefox addonsdk api's.

i used request api getting info server instead of using unsupported gm_xmlhttprequest.

var request = require("sdk/request").request; var userdetails = request({ url: "http://example.com/user/1", oncomplete: function (response) { var res = response.json[0]; } });

and extension restartless , totally rewritten using high , low level api's in firefox documentation. hope future browser changes using these api's , back upwards extension longer period of time.
