This works as expected for me. Can you please provide a testcase add-on that demonstrates the problem?

That add-on seems to work as expected for me. Can you paste the data from about:support as a comment, please?

I can't reproduce in Firefox 50 or 53 on OS X yet, I get a popup that looks like this:

Is there a specific use case or version where it doesn't work?

Comment 5

[Byungwook Kang]

I checked that this happens in 51.0b1.
This seems to be fixed in 52.0a2.

Comment 6

[Andy McKay]

Ok, if its fixed in 52, we consider it as closed. Until then you'll have to workaround it if its possible.

Comment 7

[Byungwook Kang]

I think you should apply the fix in 51.
It is critical for all WebExtension API based extensions.

Comment 8

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

If this is a regression in 51, it needs to be fixed in 51

Comment 9

[Andy McKay]

Can't reproduce in 51 either. Currently have no STR to search for a regression range.

Comment 10

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

I also can't reproduce on 51 so, again, the data from about:support would be helpful.

Please reopen if you can provide steps to reproduce.
