I am probably being dumb… my WebExtension uses
browser.tabs.update({url: “about:home”});
which works fine on desktop Firefox (MacOS Nightly, version 2017-09-11)
but it doesn’t work on Android (Nightly, 2017-09-11 and earlier). Nothing happens.
Both of:-
browser.tabs.update({url: “about:blank”}); and browser.tabs.update({url: “https://developer.mozilla.org”});
work as expected on Android Nightly.
Am I missing something (or is this a bug in Android Nightly? I have “tabs” permission set. I tried other permissions but no change.
Thanks for any help from a WebExtension newbie.
