Steps to reproduce:
- Create a extension with a function call with openTab.
Example : Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow("mail:3pane").document.getElementById("tabmail").openTab - In the html code of the opened page a link with an href containing a javascript call.
Example : <a HREF="javascript:alert('test')">test link</a> - Click on the link
Actual results:
Nothing happens and we get an error in console (2147942487).
Expected results:
The link works.

Thank you for the answer. I tried, there was no error in console. But in the case of the example proposed, the alert does not go off.

There are multiple issues with the example. You should not use javascript href links, but use an eventlistener for the click event to run a javascript function. And alert is probably not allowed for WebExtensions. Use console.log to have a visual feedback when the call has been executed, or use the debugger [1].
