1269181 - chrome.webRequest.onHeadersReceived doesn't support -1 for tabId value

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(WebExtensions :: Untriaged, defect, P2)

Description

[Tim Nguyen :ntim]

According to the docs: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest#event-onHeadersReceived
"The ID of the tab in which the request takes place. Set to -1 if the request isn't related to a tab."

But Firefox throws:
Error: Type error for parameter filter (Error processing tabId: Integer -1 is too small (must be at least 0)) for webRequest.onHeadersReceived.

This happens in all `webRequest.on*.addListener` methods.

In Chrome, a listener added with {tabId: -1} is called for all requests, just as if `tabId` had been omitted. Can that be right? The documentation is mute [1].

I can't seem to reproduce this.  Is this still an issue Tim?  If so, can you please provide the code that exhibits the problem?

I don't have any code to test with right now, but BMfG doesn't seem to have this error anymore.
