When I make a request to http://www.example.com , why does I see http://www.example.com/ in the webRequest.onBeforeRequestListener ? For example: chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener( details => console.log('Sending request to', details.url), { urls: ['<all_urls>'] }); fetch('http://www.example.com'); will print Sending request to http://www.example.com/ That is consistent with the request URL shown in the network request monitor. For example, if I take it and convert it to a curl command, the request looks like this: curl 'http://www.example.com/' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Connection:

I'm using the Firefox permissions API documented HERE I'm having a problem with the request method, wherein all of my permissions requests result in: Error: permissions.request may only be called from a user input handler You can produce this in firefox by debugging any addon or extension and entering browser.permissions.request({origins: ["https://google.com/*"]}) into the console. I find it hard to swallow that a permissions request must always have a user input event callback in the parent stack trace. I'm using Vue.js, and my Permissions are due to user interaction, but my user

Hello guys, i am trying to implement an add-on for the Mozilla-Firefox Browser. The following script shows one backgorund script I already successfully integrated. It uses the Mozilla WebExtension API storage. It gets executed but the log on the browser console suprises me. I get alternating logged nothing and: bla bla bla If and only if I set breakpoints on significant lines (especially the last 5 lines) of my code in Debugging-Mode I get always the expected result: bla How is it that the output depends on setting breakpoints. I have no idea what is happening and can not find any similar

I want to convert a Chrome extension of mine to Firefox. So far so good, except I had an url redirect in webRequest.onBeforeRequest in the Chrome extension, which is not allowed in Firefox WebExtensions . Now I am unsure how to implement this in Firefox. In the Chrome background.js it looked something like this: chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener( function(details) { console.log('onBeforeRequest'); var returnuri; returnuri = details.url; if ((details.url.indexOf("/malicious/") > -1) || (details.url.indexOf("/bad/") > -1)){ //I want to redirect to safe content returnuri = details.url

I rewrote my extension to WebExtensions for Firefox and Google Chrome, and it works fine for HTTP/HTTPS. However, it no longer works on URLs with the view-source: scheme. (These URLs are the HTML source code of web pages shown by CTRL+U.) Firefox 57 gives this error Error: Missing host permission for the tab Google Chrome 62 does apparently nothing. There is no documentation about the view-source scheme. Is there a way to enable the extension for view-source? I haven't dabbled too much in extensions but since the error involves Host permissions in firefox, check the Host permissions : In

I have developed an add-on for Firefox and Chrome. It has content scripts. I want to access them in the browser tab's console (on Firefox the Web Console ). For example, I want to enter a global variable defined in the content script(s) in the console, and it will output its value. In Chrome, I can open the console by pressing F12 , then navigate to the Console tab in the developer tools. It has a dropbox, right after the filter button, to select which context I am in (page/content script): In Firefox, how to do the same thing?
