Description

[Paul [pwd]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20170910114921

Steps to reproduce:

If you have two WebExtensions that use page actions. You're unable to access either one or another as the page actions don't integrate into the page action menus properly and instead sit beside them.

Hi Paul, this has been added to the agenda for the February 20, 2018 WebExtensions APIs triage. Would you be able to join us? 

Here’s a quick overview of what to expect at the triage: 

* We normally spend 5 minutes per bug
* The more information in the bug, the better
* The goal of the triage is to give a general thumbs up or thumbs down on a proposal; we won't be going deep into implementation details

This sounds more like a bug than a feature request.  Paul, I'm unable to reproduce what I think you are saying.  Can you outline specific steps to reproduce (STR)?  perhaps a gif or two as well if the UI is doing something you do not expect.

I just noticed this was reported 5 months ago, so perhaps it has since been fixed.

I'm honestly, not sure if this is still a bug or not.

STR:
1/ Install bug with page action like Share Backported 
2/ Install something else with a page action
3/ Only one WebExtension item is displayed

Sadly, finding another page action extension is proving harder than I anticipated and so I can't confirm whether this is still a bug or not. However I'm now seeing that the page action is added to the bottom of the page action overflow menu, so I suspect it may have been fixed.

It'll be a cool experience. Thank you for the invite.

Not sure when it was fixed, but I confirmed that I can install, see and use two different page actions on Firefox 64.

Display more than one page action from one WebExtension.

It's fixed as far as I can see. As per #comment 4, Firefox can now display two page actions from two different WebExtensions

[YF (Yang)]

Forgive me. This seems be a bug report, albeit much like a feature request.

The original comment 0 specifically says "If you have two WebExtensions that use page actions..." so this comment does not apply.
