Browser plugin doesn't respond with list

  1. I followed the install steps (thanks for those!)

  2. I have the extension installed in FF v77.01 (macos)

  3. When I do Alfred -> fw the tab switcher comes up.

  4. If I run app.js via node app.js in "interactive mode (~/.noden/v/10.2/l/n/alfred-firefoxtabswitch/host) I can see the request coming in (Note: maybe my node version needs to be newer ? v10.20.1)

    Sending to extension : {"cmd":"getTabList","requestId":15}
    #{"cmd":"getTabList","requestId":15}> got message from client: getTabList

  5. But FF isn't responding with a list of tabs

  6. I uncommented the logging in utils.js logToFile so I can get debug info

Any suggestions for troubleshooting the browser plugin / native manifest piece?

Hey,

Running node app.js won't help, this need to be launched by firefox itself, otherwise it cannot work.

I've updated the README with some troubleshooting steps, you could try that and report back here.

Thanks for the troubleshooting steps ! It took some steps but I got it working !

  1. change node version (npm install with node v14.3.0)
  2. restart Firefox a couple times
  3. possibly a few other steps

:)
