Match section not working for subpaths

[Amey_Karekar]

I wanted to create a addon which matches on youtube shorts. The shorts have url which is of type

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/

I tried matching it with

“match” : “https://www.youtube.com/shorts/*” and it does not work.

I expect my js file to get triggered when I try to open a youtube short. However it does not work.

If you are using Manifest V3, it’s likely that you are missing permissions for the YouTube page. More info:

Content Scripts do not load

Unlike Chrome, when using Manifest V3 in Firefox, the host permissions are not granted automatically during the install time, so your content strips won’t be injected. You can test this by manually enabling the permissions - in the “about:addons” page - click your addon and then click “Permissions” tab and enable missing permissions. BUT! There is a good news, Firefox 127 (currently Nightly release) will fix this so that they are granted on install, same as Chrome: Firefox 127 is scheduled…
