A Firefox extension that implements the Chromecast API and exposes it to web apps to enable cast support. Communication with receiver devices is handled by a companion application (bridge). Install the Firefox extension (from within Firefox) and bridge application via the installer packages. These are two separate downloads that can be found on the website or in the GitHub releases section. The bridge application is currently supported on Windows, macOS and Linux. Clicking on the toolbar button or Cast... menu item in the page context menu will open a popup that shows a list of receiver devices will allow you to start casting the currently detected app2 or media. The extension provides a whitelist for ensuring only trusted sites are allowed to load the cast API and communicate with receiver devices. Sites may be added to the whitelist, either by clicking one of the whitelist options in the toolbar button context menu whilst visiting the site.
