Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Build ID: 20171024165158 Steps to reproduce: Try to call `.openPopup()`, from within a registered keyboard command. Actual results: Nothing. Expected results: The popup should have opened. The documentation says "You can only call this function from inside the handler for a user action, such as ... Activating a keyboard shortcut defined by the extension (note: this is not currently supported in Firefox)." But gives no hint whether/when this will be supported for Firefox, nor any way to discover such status or information. (This bug is probably a dupe; I legitimately looked, but couldn't find one.)
