This bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302504
adds options_ui to Android.
It’s marked ‘verified fixed’ in Fx56 but it needs reopening. I don’t have authority to do that AFAICS. Or maybe I misunderstand the process, Can somebody take with that authority take a look?
Time is running out to get this done by Fx56.

I’ve reopened it, but 56.0a1 is already Nightly, so there’s no way any more changes to that are going to make 56.

Thanks Eric.
57 maybe.
I know I’m not the only one with webextensions depending on this.

Dave, please follow this new bug instead.
@ericjung1
Any idea when the open_in_tab: true is going to be supported?
Otherwise extensions have to programmatically open the options menu in a new tab using browser.tabs.create()

It is already supported. I tried it like this (in manifest.json):
"options_ui": {
"page": "options.html"
"open_in_tab": true
}
Click your addon’s preferences button in about:addons to see it.

You can also see a full example here . The example opens it from the browser action.

I don’t see one on Cookie AutoDelete which does have open_in_tab: true.

I don’t see one on Cookie AutoDelete1 which does have open_in_tab: true.
I do. I installed the add-on and see the options UI in a new tab when I go to about:addons and click the preferences button. Specifically, this URL is opened in a tab:
moz-extension://6a583a80-f8e9-2048-83b4-bfc1fa51021e/settings/settings.html. The content is mostly release notes.
I’m using Firefox 56.0a1 (2017-08-01) (64-bit).
I’m not seeing a preference button.

Android problem, like mine.
On Nexus 9 tablet, 56.0a1 20170730 I don’t see options on Cookie Autodelete - when first installed. And no pref button.
Subsequently I see MY options - which is this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1380575
That and this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1382572 are probably not in that build.

The two bugs in my previous post do seem to be fixed. (The first seems absent in 57, anyway.)
These two are open and currently unassigned:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302504
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1386316
@Kenny_D Is there a bug for your open_in_tab support? I might use that instead, but it’s not worth the work-around for me

Not yet, but I’m not sure since @ericjung1 says there is support for that, but I definitely don’t see the button at all.

Nor do I. I would raise one if I were you.
I’ll see what @ericjung1 has to say first.

Yupp. Same here. I do, however, see the inline options page of one of my own extensions.
