Fixes JabRef/JabRef-Browser-Extension#238
This PR adds the support for the Edge browser on Windows and Linux.
It still needs testing, especially the Windows support.

I will update the relevant documentation and changelog when the support has been tested.

  • Change in CHANGELOG.md described (if applicable)
  • Tests created for changes (if applicable)
  • Manually tested changed features in running JabRef (always required)
  • Screenshots added in PR description (for UI changes)
  • Checked documentation: Is the information available and up to date? If not created an issue at https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/issues or, even better, submitted a pull request to the documentation repository.

Thanks a lot! Codewise this looks good to me.

For the renaming of the firefox json, it should be checked that it still works if you upgrade an older installation. I'm not sure if the uninstall actually cleans the registry/folder, so there might still be the old reference to jabref.json. If an upgrade-install works, this is good to go from my side.

I didn't think about upgrades.. I can revert it back to the old name.
I can't run the test myself since the windows vm I use started crawling to a halt.

I'll see if I find the time the next days. If not, I propose, we are going to be brave, merge and let our alpha users test it ;-).

Can you please add a changelog, and open a PR for changes to https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/blob/master/en/collect/jabref-browser-extension.md which we can merge directly before the next release. Thanks.

On windows 10 I can't find the extension in Edge, although the registry entry is set correctly. I will try again later with a restart of my computer. I had to upgrade the Edge installation first. Maybe that's the proble..

I tested it again I tested again, but I don't see the extension, neither in Firefox. nor in Edge. Maybe it has something to do with the renaming?

@Siedlerchr Have you installed the extension from the edge store?
It might be different if you install the chrome extension in edge..

It's a bit confusing, since you can technically install two parallel versions of the extension, from the edge store and the chrome store.
They have a different id, but apart from that they are the same..
