In about:config
javascript.enabled = True
I didn’t change any settings there.
If I place, for example
"options_ui": {
"page": "settings.html",
"open_in_tab": true
},"
in the manifest.json of the extension, it does open the settings.html page as intended. Problem is that no JS script on settings.html works, be it if it’s inline HTML or as a separate file (I tried separate file, as I thought it might be a security thing).
For the settings.js to work, I needed to add it to "content_scripts": []
in the manifest file. That made the console.log("from outside of showPopup")
work upon opening of the settings.html file, but clicking on the button, doesn’t show the popup, nor prints console.log("from inside of showPopup")
If I don’t add settings.js to "content_scripts": []
no code in it execute at all.
Other actually installed extensions - their JS on settings pages runs.
I also tried running settings.html as a popup, and I succesfully done so, it’s just that once again JS didn’t work…
I’m at my wits end, I have googled, I have chatted with the ChatGPT, took me hours thinking it was something wrong with my code… I’m making something useful, never done before (it reads out youtube subtitles via TTS, providing ability to still hear original sound, its emotions, no need to look at the screen and it’s also a passive language learning type of thing), and it works with harcoded speed and voice level, it’s just that setting page’s JS, which I think I need to allow users change speed of TTS and volume of the TTS
