Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1272446

(WebExtensions :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Brian Kieffer]

Attachment: Missing options page in FF 48

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1) From FF 45-47, install a WebExtension that performs feature detection of runtime.openOptionsPage.
2) Update to Firefox 48.
3) Call runtime.openOptionsPage

Note: if the add-on is updated or installed after updating to Firefox 48, the bug does not occur.


Actual results:

The options page that opens contains the description of the add-on along with screenshots, reviews, and other miscellaneous items, but it doesn't contain the actual contents of the options page.


Expected results:

The contents of the option page should appear.

Some additional comments: re-installing the add-on will fix this issue, although this is a lot to ask my current add-on users for.

Also, this is what the options page of my WebExtension is supposed to look like:
