OverbiteNX

Enables the Gopher protocol in Firefox 59+ using the Onyx native component (free and open source, available for Linux, Windows and macOS).
OverbiteNX is an experimental addon to allow Firefox 59+ to seamlessly access legacy Gopher resources like any other URL. It uses the Onyx native Gopher component to access the network on its behalf. It is a bridging extension that enables users to continue accessing the useful and rapid services still available in Gopherspace.
