firefox-webextensions

I'm porting chrome extension to Firefox and I'm testing on Nightly 51a.. version. When I click the popup options icons it opens and scrollbars appear and after half a second those disappear. How to correct this? At the moment I've given a hyperlink in the top in the optins popup with this code which when clicked opens full view html in a new tab and this works just fine: <a style="font-size:1.5em;" href="options.html" target="_blank">Open Full Window</a> The popup that is being shown for a browser_action is, currently, being set to a maximum of 800x600 pixels (at least in my testing).

This question already has an answer here: TypeError: [API] is undefined in content script or Why can't I do this in a content script? 2 answers While migrating my old Firefox add-on to WebExtension API, failed to understand while I am getting this error: TypeError: browser.browserAction is undefined Here is the manifest.json: { "manifest_version": 2, "name": "My Login", "version": "3.0", "description": "Login to my page", "homepage_url": "https://localhost", "icons": { "48": "icons/button-1.png" }, "permissions": [ "activeTab", "storage" ], "browser_action": { "default_icon": "icons/button-1

To change the settings (about:config) with the old API you would simply do: require('sdk/preferences/service').set('media.webrtc.debug.multi_log', true); I can't find anything on the subject for the new WebExtensions add-ons of Firefox.

I am developing an firefox extension using webExtensions that would help me ease my work with the scenario below. I have to click around 50-60 buttons on the site that update the task status. On click of this button, the web page is calling the webpage's updTask(id) JavaScript function that is then making a web-service call to update the task. I am not able to do this from my content script using the code below: manifest.json : "permissions": [ "activeTab", "cross-domain-content": ["http://workdomain.com/","http://workdomain.org/","http://www.workdomain.com/","http://www.workdomain.org/"] ]

I am feeling overwhelmed by so many different approaches, guides, and yet none I tried work for me. Please connect at least some of the dots for me... My objective is to find a window object in background script of Firefox WebExtension. Problem, I cannot import Services library to use it for finding a window object. Two methods I tried: Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm"); Gives a warning that Components is depricated, and an error: Components.utils is undefined. const { Cu } = require("chrome"); let Services = Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm"); Throws

The target is get a WebExtension for Firefox that can be activated/deactivated by a user in the toolbar, like an on/off switch. I'm using a background.js with this code: browser.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) { switch (button) { case 'turn-on': enable(); break; case 'turn-off': disable(); break; } }); function enable() { browser.browserAction.setIcon({ path: '/ui/is-on.png', }); browser.browserAction.setPopup({ popup: '/ui/turn-off.js', }); browser.webNavigation.onCommitted.addListener(onTabLoad); } function disable() { browser.browserAction.setIcon({ path: '/ui/is-off.png'
