Open in Chrome for Firefox stopped working

Comma-separated list of URLs to open with the external browser when the link is opened with left-click¹: https://console.aws.amazon.com/, https://company.slack.com/, https://github.com/org/

With the above settings. Unchanged since I set up the plugin options, the plugin just stopped sending things to Chrome.

I am not able to reproduce this. Have you tried refreshing the source page?

[mikemajara]

Yeah, I tried a bunch of things, I have yet to try downgrading explorer and other stuff. I'll find some time to put together some decent information. Sorry for the brevity.

I am using:

• Firefox 84.0.1
• MacOS 10.15.7
• Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build)
• open-in Chrome addon (Firefox -> Chrome)

When debugging the extension I can see the following message in console:

Unchecked lastError value: Error: Missing host permission for the tab

Apparently failing at this spot of background.js

  chrome.tabs.executeScript(tabId, {
    file: "public/js/content-scripts/".concat(contentScriptName),
    matchAboutBlank: true,
    frameId: frameId,
    runAt: 'document_start'
  });
}

From the date I realized this was happening (the OP was on Dec 2, 2020), I see that Chrome released the very same version I am using.

From the looks Chrome is preventing the add0n to manipulate/create the tab at some point.

Let me know If I can do a PR, I am unfamiliar with this projects so it would take me a while still

Thoughts?

P.D.: I also ./install.shed again

@MikeMajara are you trying to export an internal tab?

[mikemajara]

@andy-portmen could you elaborate? I am using the same configuration that I was using before (when it was working[1])... With default settings appart from the URLs marked in "Comma-separated list of URLs to open with the external browser when the link is opened with left-click1" (with string e.g.: https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/home)

[1] With before I mean that the same configuration was working one day and stopped working the next day. After looking a bit closer, I assume that because of an update, but still just an assumption.

I should add to the above that clicking on the web extension button does export the tabs successfully. It is just the automatic opening that is not working as expected.
