如何使用 Firefox WebExtensions API 将选项卡置于最前面

Question

I'm developing a Firefox WebExtension (A new technology of Firefox Add-on, in order to make Chrome extensions compatible with Firefox).

Now I need to bring a specific tab to front by tab id.

I tried chrome.tabs.update(this.id, { selected: true }, callback); . This works for Chrome, but Firefox doesn't support selected property (And doesn't support highlighted either).

Does anybody know how to do this?

Document of chrome.tabs.update . No other property seems the one I need.

Answer 1

You are looking for the active property for tabs.update() . This also works in Chrome.

You should use:

chrome.tabs.update(this.id, { active: true }, callback);

My answer to From a browser action popup: open a new tab and fill input fields shows using chrome.tabs.update(tab.id,{active:true}) in an extension to activate a tab which had been opened by the extension without making it the active tab at the time the tab was opened.
