Steps to reproduce:
Using Geckoview as detailed in the examples with a custom extension.
Actual results:
The extension works for 3-4 weeks and then all of the sudden at startup I get this error:
D/GeckoViewConsole: Could not find extension with id=messaging@my_app
Complete log:
2022-04-05 09:59:05.405 4159-4582/my.app D/GeckoViewConsole: onEvent GeckoView:WebExtension:EnsureBuiltIn {"locationUri":"resource://android/assets/messaging/","webExtensionId":"messaging@my_app"}
2022-04-05 09:59:06.838 4159-4159/my.app I/MessageDelegate: Extension installed: WebExtension {location=resource://android/assets/messaging/, id=messaging@my_app, flags=0}
2022-04-05 09:59:06.847 4159-4159/my.app I/WebExtension: releasePendingMessages: extension=messaging@my_app nativeApp=browser session=null
2022-04-05 09:59:07.066 4159-4582/my.app D/GeckoViewConsole: onEvent GeckoView:ActionDelegate:Attached {"extensionId":"messaging@my_app"}
2022-04-05 09:59:07.067 4159-4582/my.app D/GeckoViewConsole: Could not find extension with id=messaging@my_app
2022-04-05 09:59:07.070 4159-4582/my.app D/GeckoViewConsole: onEvent GeckoView:WebExtension:SetPBAllowed {"allowed":true,"extensionId":"messaging@my_app"}
Expected results:
It should continue to work normally all time.
Solution, either to completely reinstall the app or rename the extension id or doing a reset for app data using the Android system UI.
This is how I install the addon:
private void installAddon() {
try {
final String uri = "resource://android/assets/messaging/";
sGeckoRuntime.getWebExtensionController().setPromptDelegate(sExtensionManager);
sGeckoRuntime.getWebExtensionController()
.ensureBuiltIn("resource://android/assets/messaging/", "messaging@my_app")
.accept(
extension - > {
Log.i("MessageDelegate", "Extension installed: " + extension);
requireActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
assert extension != null;
extension.setMessageDelegate(messageDelegate, "browser");
sGeckoRuntime.getWebExtensionController().setAllowedInPrivateBrowsing(
extension, true);
}
});
},
e - > Log.e("MessageDelegate", "Error registering WebExtension", e)
);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("installAddon", e.getMessage());
}
}

Using Geckoview as detailed in the examples with a custom extension.
Thanks for reporting this bug. Are you using your own app that embeds GeckoView? In which GeckoView versions have you seen this bug? Is this a recent regression?
I will need to ask the GeckoView engineers if this looks like a bug in the GeckoView library or in Gecko's extension code itself.

Yes, I have developed an application which embeds GeckoView. I see this issue in version 92.0.20210922161155.

Some debugging suggestions:
- Version 92 is pretty old. Try updating to the latest GeckoView version (99) to see if the problem still happens.
- Try installing one of the Fenix extensions from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/. Maybe there is something different about your messaging@my_app extension that causes the problem?
