## libgopher
libgopher is a fork of OverbiteFF, a plugin which lets you browse Gopher sites on legacy Firefox-based browsers such as Dactyloidae.
libgopher (a fork of overbiteff) lets you browse Gopher sites directly in legacy Firefox-based browsers such as Dactyloidae.
In this tree it is built into the browser rather than installed as an add-on. The browser registers the Gopher protocol handler during startup, so `gopher://` links work immediately in a new profile.

The integration is split into the same pieces used by other browser-native features:
- `moz.build` adds the component files, default preferences, and chrome package to the browser build.
- `components/protocol.manifest` registers the Gopher protocol, while `components/about.manifest` registers the `about:gopher` and `about:overbite` pages.
- `components/protocol.manifest` registers the Gopher protocol.
- `components/protocol.js` implements Gopher networking, directory conversion, internal resources, and supported item types.
- `components/about.js` supplies the Overbite information page.
- `jar.mn` packages the `overbiteff` content and locale namespaces.
- `defaults/preferences/overbiteff.js` initializes the build marker preference.
- `jar.mn` packages the `libgopher` content and locale namespaces.
- `defaults/preferences/gopher.js` initializes the build marker preference.
The browser-level build entry is `browser/moz.build`; no XPI installation or add-on manager registration is required.

gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/

The built-in information pages are available at:
```text

about:overbite

There are no built-in informational `about:` pages; navigation starts from a normal `gopher://` URL.
The protocol handler also serves the generated internal resources used by Gopher directory pages, including icons, CSS, and the page interaction script. These resources are addressed through `gopher:///internal-*` URLs and are resolved from the packaged `content/chrome/` directory.

The following preferences are recognized when present:
- `extensions.overbiteff.dotless` — enables dotless text cleanup.
- `extensions.overbiteff.fixitype` — enables the legacy item-type correction behavior.
- `extensions.overbiteff.buildmark` — records the initialized OverbiteFF build number.
- `network.gopher.dotless` — enables dotless text cleanup.
- `network.gopher.fixitype` — enables the legacy item-type correction behavior.
- `network.gopher.buildmark` — records the initialized libgopher build number.
Only the build marker is given a default value by the built-in preference file; the other options remain opt-in.
