1330159 - [tracking] BrowserAction API support for Android WebExtensions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: Android, defect, P5)

Description

[Andy McKay]

Implement browser_action for Android. This is the ability to create toolbar button and support the manifest and API:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/browser_action
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/browserAction

Both of these have been implemented for Desktop.

Because of the limited space on Android, we'll assume this needs a bit of UX help. There was quite a discussion on this in bug 1264118 which became mostly about pageAction instead.

Clearing bug assignment because this is a tracker bug.

Add Jack here so he can think of it while designing a guideline for web extension on Fennec

Removing off webextensions+ because not all the dependencies on this need to be done for that flag.

GeckoView supports every API that desktop does now, implemented in Bug 1530402.
