feat(extension): add Firefox WebExtension support

- Add a neutral WebExtension API adapter that uses Firefox browser.* or Chromium chrome.* without mutating globals.
- Switch extension runtime code to the adapter and add Firefox-specific typings for tabs, windows, tab groups, storage, scripting, and native messaging ports.
- Fix Firefox temporary add-on instructions to load the packaged manifest with background.scripts instead of the Chromium service worker manifest.
- Detect Firefox in clients.list via runtime.getBrowserInfo and keep Chromium user-agent fallback support.
- Make navigate.open wait briefly for Firefox to replace initial about:blank with the requested URL.
- Add JS coverage for API selection, clients.list browser detection, and Firefox navigate.open URL polling.
- Bump package and extension version to 0.15.2.

+
+```sh
+uv tool install real-browser-cli

+```
+
+The PyPI package is named `real-browser-cli`; the installed command is still `browser-cli`.
+
+For better remote-response compression, install the optional `fast` extra:

+```sh
+uv tool install "real-browser-cli[fast]"
+```
+
+To upgrade later:
+
+```sh
+uv tool upgrade real-browser-cli
+```
+

 ```sh
 git clone <repo>
 cd browser-cli
