When I trying to install my add-one as temporary then I got this error message.

```bash
There was an error during the temporary add-on installation.
Error details
background.service_worker is currently disabled

```

I think this error message not describe issue why it’s happen.  
However, here is my `manifest.json` file code

```json
{
  "name": "Example",
  "description": "Example Descriptions",
  "version": "0.0.6",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "icons": {
    "16": "icon.png",
    "32": "icon.png",
    "48": "icon.png",
    "96": "icon.png",
    "128": "icon.png"
  },
  "browser_action": {
    "default_popup": "src/popup.html"
  },
  "background": {
    "scripts": ["src/scripts/background.js"],
    "persistent": true
  },
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "js": ["src/scripts/content.js"],
      "css": ["src/styles/index.css"],
      "matches": [
        "*://*/*"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "permissions": [
    "tabs",
    "activeTab",
    "storage",
    "alarms",
    "nativeMessaging"
  ]
}

```

I can’t reproduce the error.

- How exactly did you load the add-on?
- Where did you see the error message?  
(screenshots would be very helpful!)
