I got the Open as Popup extension to install in Firefox 45.

I had to edit the manifest.json file and delete the _metadata\verified_contents.json file.

Code: Select all

- "update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",

+ "applications": {
+   "gecko": {
+     "id": "abracadabra@example.org"
+   }
+ },

Unfortunately, the api is still unsupported in Firefox 45.

Type error for parameter createData (Property "type" is unsupported by Firefox) for windows.create.

You could try detaching the tab (drag it down) then press F9 after install this extension:
