1598792 - Expose |options_ui| to embedders

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(GeckoView :: Extensions, enhancement, P1)

Description

[[ex-Mozilla] Agi Sferro | :agi]

We need to expose options_ui to embedders. A field on the WebExtension object might be sufficient.

Attachment: Bug 1598792 - ensure that GeckoView WebExtension.metaData.optionsPageUrl and WebExtension.metaData.openOptionsPageInTab are available after the installExtension promise is resolved; r?agi, r?robwu

These values are not available right away after onInstallEnded, but are available after Management.on("ready") for the addon. We prefer not complicating the
situation for GV embedders, and instead only resolving the installExtension once the addon is ready.
