Broken in Firefox - "can't read and change data on this site" #16

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (64-bit) -- Don't judge. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Browser: Firefox 116.0.2 (64-bit)

Issue: Doesn't work, at all. Steps: Go to any Steam URL Result: The extension icon and text in Firefox's extension drawer is greyed out with the text reading "can't read and change data on this site"

I thought it was some quirk of Librewolf(firefox fork) I was using, but a FRESH Firefox install has the same result. If there is any information you might need to help resolve this, do not hesitate to ask. :)

that's because you use the small steam button in the url bar

That's because it doesn't access data on the site: 2023-11-23T00:53:07,517314487-05:00 It gets the page's URL through Access Browser Tabs, and generates the steam URL from that: https://github.com/veteran29/steam-url-open-extension/blob/1effd0cc632ba6baa1be07e61a3c0dc0415a052e/app/scripts/background.js#L9

If the button in the URL bar isn't working, then that's probably issue #15
