I'm trying to build an extension for the Android version of Firefox that adds a custom option to the context menu that pops up when you select text. However, I'm having difficulty getting any button to show up. I tried installing this example with no changes on my Firefox Night for Developers app. I see the extension in the app, but no "Copy link to clipboard" button appears in the context menu. Is this a known limitation of Firefox's Android app or am I missing something basic? |

Your currently available option is to use add a browserAction button (or simply called action in MV3) to your extension and use scripting.executeScript +
window.getSelection()to get the current text selection (assuming that it is in the top-level document), and then the navigator.clipboard or document.execCommand API to do the actual copy.
