runtime.requestUpdateCheck()

Checks for updates to this add-on.

runtime.connect()

runtime.connectNative()

Connects the WebExtension to a native application on the user's computer.

runtime.sendMessage()

Sends a single message to event listeners within your add-on or a different add-on. Similar to runtime.connect but only sends a single message, with an optional response.

runtime.sendNativeMessage()

Sends a single message from a WebExtension to a native application.

runtime.getPlatformInfo()

Returns information about the current platform.

runtime.getBrowserInfo()

Returns information about the browser in which this add-on is installed.

Events

runtime.onStartup

runtime.onInstalled

Fired when the add-on is first installed, when the add-on is updated to a new version, and when the browser is updated to a new version.

runtime.onSuspend

Sent to the event page just before the add-on is unloaded. This gives the add-on an opportunity to do some cleanup.

runtime.onSuspendCanceled

Sent after runtime.onSuspend to indicate that the add-on won't be unloaded after all.

runtime.onUpdateAvailable

Fired when an update is available, but isn't installed immediately because the add-on is currently running.

runtime.onBrowserUpdateAvailable

Fired when an update for the browser is available, but isn't installed immediately because a browser restart is required.

runtime.onConnect

Fired when a connection is made with either an add-on process or a content script.
