I am creating a Firefox extension with React.js and want to inject a text into the active website. The permissions, content_script and background script are set in manifest.json but the problem is I do not understand the concept how it should work.
So far I tried to add content script but that runs a script at page load and thats it. The background does not seem to interact with the page.
I need a script that listen for an event, when I click on a button in the extension popup, it should send the text from the React app to update the site. Basically like a password manager when you injecting the password into the form field.
Can someone tell me the concept as I do not get what case relevant to my problem after checking in and out the web extension documentation?

I'm developing a Chrome extension which updates a tab with a URLs in LinkedIn (every some times it changes the URL). The problem is that URLs in LinkedIn don't fully load until the user is focused on that site/tab, and I need the page to load when the user is using other tabs as well.
So is there any way I can use JavaScript (either using Chrome's background script, or a content script which will execute in the required tab) to make LinkedIn think the page is in focus, so that it loads fully?
I'm developing a site (not mine) and I encountered a big trouble!
In this website I've got some modals that will open after a user clicks on a product, but I need to do so Google Bot detects these modals like pages. When a modal opens, a JS Function adds a # parameter to the URL like "#abc=modal_one".
I want that in Google Result appears this page as "www.test.com/page.php?#abc=modal_one". I've tried (and I'm trying) to render the page like Google Bot in Google Search Console, but GSC opens only the page and not the modal. I also added a ES6 (JS) code that just edits the page title when the modal is showing to the user (after user clicks to open the modal) but nothing, Google does not detect the page title set after the page is loaded.
If you can't understand something just tell me and I will try to explain my trouble newly.
Thanks in advance to all the StackOverflow community :)
Try exporting the various pages to a dynamic sitemap that Google can read.

I'm building a chrome extension to debrid and stream a link on my raspberry pi (running Kodi).
So far, it's working well. I can give a link :
and it's debrided + streamed on Kodi.
I would like to make it easier to use.
Instead of pasting the link into the app, I made a little script to search on a given type of page if a link can be debrided via Realdebrid and is so, the script add a button to directly stream it :
The problem here is :
When the user click on the button, how can I pass the link to my extension ? I would like to have it in my extension because I can display the link into history.
I tried something like that :
from the view :
from the extension :
But it's not working.
I think I should use messages but I don't understand how.
It's an open source project that you can find on Github.
As it's not working yet you won't find the code I shared in the 2 images before. It's just on my computer, not pushed.
Any help would be really appreciated !
Thanks !
EDIT 1 :
When I click on the button injected in the page, I get this error :
Which leads to this line :
EDIT 2 :
If I keep the app open while I click on the button it's working. But I do not want to have to launch the app of course, the goal is to click on the button only.
Popup script is loaded when you open the app by a user action i.e clicking on the app icon. Until then, it is not available to you. As such you are getting this error because when you send a request the listener should be available and in your case its not there.
Now, the easiest way to achieve this would be to send the request from the content script to the background page which is available even when the app is not open.
Inject the button using the content script and send a message to the background page (called event pages) on click event of the button.
Add an event listener in your background page which will listen to the request from the content script and store the link in the local storage.
When your app opens just load the link from the local storage and display your links in the history.
I hope this helps.
I am a newbie to extensions. i want to create a extension, when clicked on the icon it should open up the www.gmail.com, input my user name and password and login automatically,click on the first mail. Your help is highly appreciated. I tried many things like chrome inject api but did't work out.
Like said in comments, go have a look to documentation sample codes, it's a good start.
For your extension you should do something like this :
Open a tab with the gmail.com url.
in the callback, inject a content script in the newly created tab
In the content script put the login and the password in page input and then simulate a submit button click.
Try to do this for a first try. When you get it work, You can try to open the latest email received. Look for tabs and runtime message api to send data or event between injected scripts and background script.
I am in the process of making a bookmarklet that allows users to highlight text on an external web page.
It runs JavaScript code that appends a JavaScript file from my server to the current web page that takes the title of the current web page, the URL of the current web page, and then the highlight text of the current web page. Finally, the user would click a button to submit the data to my web server to be saved into the database.
I have two ways of doing this: (1) have a popup with the data in the URL as parameters, or (2) to have an iframe inserted into the current web page with a form to submit the data.
In the one with the popup (1), the users browser auto blocks the popup for every domain. How do I get around this? It seems like Facebook share and twitter tweet buttons bypass the popup blocker though...
In the one with the iframe (2), I want to remove the iframe from the DOM after submitting data. However, if I'm on another domain, I get an error saying I am denied access because of origin policy something. I know it's possible because Pinterest's bookmarklet does this, it inserts an iframe then removes it from the current DOM.
I am looking for information on how these solutions work, so I can do something similar with my bookmarklet.
I resolved this by adding a post message callback after saving the data from the iframe.
