Curious why F.LUX to warm harsh-blue screens is not listed among top FF add-ons?

Are most people aware or unaware of F.LUX which helps lessen fried eyes by blue-blocking your screen tailored to time of day?

I guess I may be among the minority, as it just came to my attention. However, if Firefox had placed it way up there among top add-ons, I might have become aware of it alot sooner, to help buffer my sensitive eyes.

For the record, upon searching FF Add-Ons for both blue-blocker and computer-vision, all it yielded was a program called 20-20-20, but not f.lux. So consider this post an alert to Mozilla, in case there's even one other person out there who's not aware of this option and might gain by seeing it among top add-ons.

Hi

I have been unable to find that add-on on the Mozilla Add-ons site, but I have found one called Firelux that may do a similar job.

I will give it a try for a while and if I like it I will make more people aware of it.

I also found the Firelux extension in a quick search.

The vast majority of Extensions for Firefox hosted at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ are made by a third-party author or company and most Mozilla extensions would have Mozilla or Mozilla Labs as the author.

If you have questions about the addons.mozilla.org site then there is the support forum for this site at https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons as it is the Forum link on the bottom of the AMO pages.

Is this a Firefox-specific add-on, or does it work systemwide?

It's very good. I did not get it via Firefox, and it warms my desktop as well, and also Chrome, which I just tested. So i guess its systemwide.

Seburo, Insofar as Firelux, I wonder if that's an earlier version of F.lux because my f.lux systray icon is practically identical, albeit inversed.
