WebExtensions和Firefox Android：如何获取BrowserApp对象

Question

The MDN page for the BrowserApp object says that it is an alternative way to access some properties that you otherwise could not get to on Android. But the way they show how to actually get one of these objects uses the deprecated 'old-style' API that does not work in my extension.

I need a way for my background script to get a hold of one of these BrowserApp objects, how do I do this? I know that if I use a bootstrap script, the browser will give me one, but I need it in my background script.

I can't use the above var { Cu } = require("chrome") method because "chrome" is not loaded yet by the time my script runs.

(as an aside, does anyone know if the browser.downloads.download(...) api works on Android? The MDN says it will but the MDN says a lot of things, and at this point I'm wary of blindly trusting the docs)

Answer 1

You cannot access BrowserApp by design from webextensions. Your best bet is probably asking about the individual things you want to get at via BrowserApp.
