Thunderbird WebExtension equivalent of browser_action

Post by maheshasolkar »

What is the Thunderbird WebExtension equivalent of browser_action from Firefox WebExtension?

I am trying to add a button in Thunderbird via new WebExtension. I've done this in the past for Firefox with the browser_action key. I tried the same in Thunderbird and am getting the message:

Code: Select all

browser_action: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest
I guess I am not looking in the right place, but I can't find much documentation for Thunderbird WebExtensions on MDN. Any pointers?

I would add a toolbar button to the customize toolbar by creating a legacy extension in Thunderbird 60.

I think the developers are still working on the implementation of various web extension APIs.

Add support for WebExtensions
