Right-click page context menu option disappears after some time, in Firefox #11

Open joelpurra opened 5 years ago

Expected behavior

Talkie's context menu item, shown when right-clicking selected text, is available when the user wants to use it.

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce behavior

System information

Might very well happen on other operating systems.

Additional information

The same, or similar problems, have been reported by users in recent weeks. Perhaps an issue with recent Firefox versions?

Perhaps it's related to the persistent setting? Firefox only handles persistent pages, thus ignoring the setting. Event pages (non-persistent) is the recommendation for Chromium. Talkie was built to be non-persistent and unloadable, as it should save system resources.

Found an MDN page regarding testing/debugging persistent features. It doesn't mention context menus though, so unsure if it applies. Any other ideas?
