WebExtensions API to get click events on browser chrome such as tabs

Add-ons Development
#1

I’d like to recreate the Easy App Tabs addon in WebExtensions. The addon is quite simple - listen for double clicks on a tab and toggle the app tab state. However, it’s not clear to me if there’ an API that lets me hook events on browser chrome.

Does this API exist? If not, is it on the roadmap?

There is no API and there are no plans to add it :frowning: I can’t find the bug but I’m quite sure there is one.

Thanks for digging up the bug. That resolution is surprising and disappointing.
