Hi there. For opening the options page in my addon, im using `chrome.runtime.openOptionsPage();` when i click on the addon icon. The problem is, that this opens every time a new tab in Firefox on Android (v83, nightly). So, if the options page is open and i click again on the icon, a new tab is opened, resulting in having multiple tabs with the options open.

When im doing this on Firefox desktop, a already opened options tab is re-used automatically.

Is this a bug on Android Firefox version?

It sounds like it, yes. I suggest you [file an issue here](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/).
