4 years ago Further info: Those are the errors that appear in the debug window just after the code line that retrieves the data from the storage:
Attempt to create privileged extension parent from incorrect child process ExtensionParent.jsm:646
Error: WebExtension context not found! ExtensionParent.jsm:778:13This is the function that retrieves the existing data from storage:
function init()
{
var retrieveAllStorageItems = browser.storage.local.get(null);
retrieveAllStorageItems.then(function (results) {
Object.keys(results).forEach(function(t) {
var storedObj= results[t];
var level = storedObj.levelValue;
var error = storedObj.errorValue;
displayRow(t, level, error) //another function to display the retrieve items
});
}, onError);
} Can you please point to me what is the problem here?

Is this a feature request or a bug?
Bug.
What is the current behavior?
1) I want to test my own extension. If I run it with options to maintain profile data using this command:
jpm run -b "C:\Program Files (x86)\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe" --binary-args -jsconsole -p C:\Users\e\Documents\dev\myExt--no-copy --debugThe extension produces unexpected behavior. At first, the extension icon did not show up. Then in a second attempt, the extension icon showed up, but if I click on it, I see the form I expect, but it does not work. I should be able to input data, press a button, and the data appears a table below the text-box, in the same form, immediately. Now, if I input data in the form, click the button, I see no effect at all.
But, if I run the extension using a fresh profile using this command:
jpm run -b "C:\Program Files (x86)\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe"The extension works as expected.2) FYI, the extension uses storage and contains data. If the user input data, then in the next run, if I run it from the existing profile, I should see the data as the extension programmed to retrieve the data from storage.
3) I use an embedded extension. i.e. it contains legacy code from SDK. However, the extension was working perfectly few years ago.
My problem seem relevant to this: https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext/issues/1363 But I do not know what is the solution. I do not want to update Firefox version because I faced loads of others problems.
What is the expected or desired behavior?
I expect to see the extension icon which if I click it opens a tab which retrieves data from the storage if exist. Unfortunately it does not retrieve the data, and does not input new data, and the button click does not have effect. It shows an error at this stage (see next comment).
