I want to open extensions in browser tab as a normal html page so that I can automate it using selenium WebDriver. In firefox this can be done using link like this - moz-extension://f1b30486-cd88-4319-bbb5-d5e387103414/popup.html
.
But the problem is that I am not finding a way in Firefox by which I can locate the id for all extensions**. The id used above is obtained when the extension is installed and a page with url
moz-extension://f1b30486-cd88-4319-bbb5-d5e387103414/congratulations.html
is loaded like a welcome page.
Is there any way in Firefox to get the add-on id or get urls like above for all extensions.
Open about:memory . Click "measure" in Show memory reports. In the Main Process section, scroll down to Other Measurements. There you will find the installed (active) extensions with their names and their ids displayed as baseURL=moz-extension://[random-ids].
, click Add-ons and Themes and select Extensions. You can also type “about:addons” in the address bar of a new tab to access the Add-ons Manager.
Most add-on data is stored in a folder in the Firefox user profile. However, some information is stored in the profile folder also. It's possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry. Type about:support in the address bar and press enter.
Open about:memory
. Click "measure" in Show memory reports. In the Main Process section, scroll down to Other Measurements. There you will find the installed (active) extensions with their names and their ids displayed as baseURL=moz-extension://[random-ids].
This method works for both Firefox and Firefox for Android. Note that only enabled extensions are shown.
