Beispielerweiterungen

Um zu veranschaulichen, wie die WebExtension-APIs verwendet werden, pflegen wir ein Repository mit Beispielerweiterungen unter https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples. Dieser Artikel beschreibt, wie Sie diese Beispiele ausführen und listet die Beispiele zusammen mit den gezeigten WebExtension-APIs auf.

Diese Beispiele funktionieren in Firefox Nightly: die meisten funktionieren in früheren Versionen von Firefox, aber überprüfen Sie den strict_min_version Schlüssel in der manifest.json der Erweiterung, um sicherzustellen.

Warnung: Einige Beispiele funktionieren nur auf bestimmten Domains oder Seiten. Details zu Einschränkungen werden in der readme-Datei jedes Beispiels bereitgestellt. Keines der Beispiele funktioniert standardmäßig in privaten Browserfenstern, siehe Erweiterungen im privaten Modus für Details.

Um diese Beispiele auszuprobieren, klonen Sie das Repository, installieren Sie die Erweiterung und führen Sie sie mit einer der folgenden Optionen aus:

  • Verwenden Sie die Funktion Load Temporary Add-on und öffnen Sie die Erweiterung aus ihrem Quellordner.
  • Installieren Sie web-ext, öffnen Sie den Quellordner der Erweiterung in der Befehlszeile und verwenden Sie web-ext run.

Die Erweiterung bleibt geladen, bis Sie Firefox neu starten.

Warnung: Bitte reichen Sie diese WebExtension-Beispiele nicht bei addons.mozilla.org (AMO) ein; Sie müssen die Add-on WebExtension-Beispiele nicht signieren, um sie auszuführen.

Wenn Sie zum Repository beitragen möchten, senden Sie uns eine Pull-Anfrage.
