    • Renamed the native host and MPRIS player to firefox_bridge.
    • Updated the addon display name to Now Playing Bridge for Senpai for AMO compatibility.
    • Preserved the existing AMO extension ID so updates install over the existing addon.

    • The bridge continues to publish metadata through MPRIS for Senpai's /np command.
    1. Run ./install.sh to install the updated Native Messaging host.

    3. Start an HTML5 video and verify it with:

    sh
    playerctl --player=firefox_bridge metadata

    • Titles depend on the site's DOM or document title.
