No response
extension.getBackgroundPage() does not return varaibles or functions unless the background page is "generated". Same for runtime.getBackgroundPage()
current FF and TB.
Either of these two return a bgr page without addon vars or functions:
set type to "module" or use "page" instead of "scripts" in manifest.
either a note in MDN or the variables
use and modify this addon to load an explicit bgr page or to set type to module: https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/main/find-across-tabs
